Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to return to the "Garden State" for the first time this year when it slogs through the New Jersey swamp known affectionately as the Meadowlands on Sat., May 5, 2012.

UFC on Fox 3, which was recently made official for the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J., will feature a main event that pits Nate Diaz vs. Jim Miller in a pivotal lightweight showdown, while Josh Koscheck vs. Johny Hendricks will face off for a top spot in the 170-pound pecking order.

Heavyweights Pat Barry and Lavar Johnson are also expected to sling leather on the action-packed televised main card, as well as Brazilian leg crusher Rousimar Palhares taking on the very game Alan Belcher in a middleweight mash up.
