Now that B.J. Penn has secured his title for another while, after a 5th round TKO of contender Diego Sanchez in UFC 107, all eyes are set on the next big fight card - the one for UFC 108 - which after many injury-spurred adjustments has finally been finalized.

Zuffa announced the full 11-bout card last Monday. The headlining bout on the main card is former light heavyweight champ Rashad Evans vs. Brazilian fighter Thiago Silva. Evans has a 13-1-1 record, but that 1 loss was his most recent fight, and Silva's record even tops his, at 14-1, so there's a lot of pressure on him to turn in a win. Funny coincidence, both Silva and Evans suffered their only losses to Lyoto Machida, both in 2009.

After a lengthy recovery from knee-surgery, welterweight Dustin Hazelett will be squaring off against Brit Paul Daley after Hazelett's originally intended opponent Karo Parisyan pulled out.

Former PRIDE fighter, Gilbert Yvel will face up-and-coming heavyweight contender Junior dos Santos.

UFC 108 will take place in Las Vegas on January 2, 2010.
