Dennis Hallman vs John Makdessi at UFC 140 in Canada

Former welterweight Dennis Hallman (50-14-2 MMA, 3-5 UFC) is dropping from categotia to face John Makdessi (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at UFC 140.

UFC 140 will take place on December 10 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The night's main card will air live on pay-per-view, although Hallman vs. Makdessi will likely be part of the preliminary card.

Hallman just lucky to have another fight in the UFC. Last month at UFC 133, he angered the UFC president Dana White, wearing a tiny sunguinha when he fought against Brian Ebersole and was still defeated by TKO in round 1.

During the fight, thong Hallman left the place and ended up putting the jewels on display fighter for the entire public. White, who was angry with the UFC officials who allowed Hallman entered the cage with that inappropriate dress after the event banned the use of short shorts in fights.

The defeat of Hallman at UFC 133 broke a sequence that the fighter had been accumulating a series of seven wins in eight fights. Of which the most recent were on Karo Parisyan and Ben Saunders.

Makdessi, who will fight in his homeland for the third time in the UFC, wants to keep his perfect record intact. 'The Bull', after dominating the scene of the struggles in Canada, he joined the UFC in 2010, and scored a unanimous decision victory over Pat Audinwood and a knockout of Kyle Watson. Makdessi then was scheduled to fight Paul Taylor at UFC on Versus 5, but was forced to withdraw from the card due to injury.
