On May 8, the Ultimate Fighting Championships heads to Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for UFC 113, which features the light heavyweight championship bout between regning champ Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida and challenger Mauricia “Shogun” Rua.

The last time Lyoto and Rua faced off, on October 24 of last year, Machida made it all the way to the end of 5 rounds before the judges’ unanimous decision fell in favor of his opponent, the then-and-still champ Lyoto. That should make for some exciting action in the Octagon for UFC 113.

The other big fights on the main card that night will be welterweights Josh “Kos” Koscheck fighting Paul “Semtex” Daley, lightweights Sam “Hands of Stone” Stout fighting Jeremy “Lil’ Heathen” Stephens, heavyweights Kimbo Slice fighting Matt Mitrione, and middleweights Patrick “The Predator” Cote fighting Alan “The Talent” Belcher. Then there are a half-dozen other fights on the preliminary card.
