Marcus Aurelio (14-5) and Luke Caudillo (12-8) will throwdown in a lightweight scrap at UFC 78 "Validation" on November 17 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., according to FightNetwork.com.
This latest announcement finalizes the most recent UFC event to hit the Garden State since UFC 55: "Fury" back in 2005.
Aurelio is a decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter who trains with the prestigious American Top Team camp in South Florida. He dropped his Octagon debut to Clay Guida via split-decision at UFC 74: "Respect" in August.
It's been a rough stretch for "Maximus" recently -- he is looking to bust out of an uncharacteristic three-fight losing streak.
Caudillo also lost his first fight inside the Octagon when he was on the wrong side of a unanimous decision against Nate Mohr at UFC Fight Night 10 in June. Aurelio will no doubt be one of the stiffest challenges to date for the Nebraska native.
It's time for Caudillo to start drilling the submission defense hard.

I say strip Sherk of the Lightweight Title and have BJ and Joe fight for the title and if Sherk wins his appeal have him face the winner

Wow at best this is a free from Ireland or England card. This is not a $40 ppv event. This could have even been a really good fight night. I think the Fisher Edgar fight will be fight of the night and probably a better headliner than bisping vs. Evans. This ppv should be dropped down to $20, blah. I will end up at my nearest Buffalo Wild Wings.

This will be a war. I got Maximus Marcus winning via submission round 3 armbar.
