UFC president Dana White announced friday, September 7th “FX 6 Australia Friday Dec 14 Middleweight Bout Rousimar Palhares VS Hector Lombard”

Palhares (14-4) who’s recovering from a knee injury and was forced to leave his fight against Yushin Okami in the UFC150, is back training with Brazilian Top Team.

This event will be the UFC’s returning to Australia. The card is also expected to feature the final bouts in the soon-to-debut “The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs. U.K.” series.

Because of the time difference, the card will take place in Australia taking place Saturday, December 15th in Australia and airing live December 14th, a Friday night in Americas.

The bout will mark a homecoming of sorts for the Cuban-born Hector Lombard (31-3-1), he lived and fought primarily in Australia and is a citizen of the country. The former Bellator middleweight champion is coming from a loss he suffered to Tim Boetsch in his UFC debut at UFC 149 in July. That loss snapped a six-year undefeated streak for Lombard.
