Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) continues its run of outstanding matchmaking as today it brings word that Jorge Masvidal and Bobby Green will face off at the upcoming UFC 178 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Sept. 27, 2014 inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Masvidal (27-8) recently scored back-to-back unanimous decision wins, the latter of which came at the expense of Daron Cruickshank at UFC on FOX 12 in San Jose, California. That's the same mixed martial arts (MMA) event that saw Green (23-5) upset Josh Thomson (watch it) to capture his eighth win in a row.
Fun fight.
UFC 178 will be headlined by light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who takes on undefeated rival Daniel Cormier for all the marbles, while former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz gets back into action against Takeya Mizugaki. Conor McGregor, meanwhile, will make a quick turnaround to test his mettle against established featherweight threat, Dustin Poirier.
