And don't worry...Yves is going to get a great opponent as well. We're really excited for this fight, and this card as a whole.

We're proud of Maximus...his goal was to ultimately get back in the UFC, and although he was excited to fight on this card, you can't pass up the UFC when they come calling.

There is some really great "unkown" talent on this card that we are incredibly happy to have.

Flavio Alvaro - a 2x Rio Heroes champ in Brazil, trains with Macaco at Gold Team, making only his 2nd appearance in the U.S.

Brian Fuery - former Miami Hurricanes football player, Air Force veteran, BJJ world champion (purple belt), trains with Pablo Popovitch in Miami

Kami Barzini - head wrestling coach at ATT and the personal wrestling coach for Thiago Alves, 2000 Olympic alternate for Iran (which, if you know about how great Iran is in wrestling, would definitely impress you)

So this is going to be a great card. And we're already working on some top talent for the third card, which will probably be in Va in November.

Stay tuned!
