Matt Mitrione vs Rob Broughton rebooked for UFC on FX 5 on Oct. 5 in Minneapolis

Meathead returns! (again)

Former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 contestant Matt Mitrione, who vowed to improve after losing a unanimous decision to Cheick Kongo at UFC 137 last October, will finally get his chance when he slugs it out against Rob Broughton at the UFC on FX 5 event scheduled for October 5, 2012 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

They were originally scheduled to face off at UFC on FOX 4 this weekend in Los Angeles, California, but Broughton was forced to put things on hold to clear up a few "personal issues." His ducks now appear to be all in a row, as MMA Weekly brought word of the heavyweight booking earlier today.

Mitrione (4-1) saw his perfect record go up in smoke against the powerful Parisian, but prior to that, had amassed an impressive list of victims that included four devastating stoppages by way of knockout.

Can he get back into the win column against the British "Bear?"

Broughton (15-7) is undoubtedly facing the ZUFFA firing squad after dropping back-to-back losses to Travis Browne at UFC 135 and Philip De Fries at UFC 138. That puts him at 1-3 inside the world's largest fight promotion after rattling off four straight wins to earn him a trip to the big show.

Time to make a statement.

UFC on FX 5, headlined by a heavyweight battle pitting Travis Browne vs. Antonio Silva, will also feature a featherweight fracas between former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) veterans Bart Palaszewski vs. Diego Nunes.
