Brazilian middleweight Demian Maia looks to rebound from a loss to UFC champion Anderson Silva when he takes on Alan (The Talent) Belcher on Sept. 15 in Austin, Texas.

The televised "UFC Fight Night" card also features a rematch between lightweights (Handsome) Matt Wiman and Mac Danzig. Wiman won controversially last month in Vancouver at UFC 115 when referee Yves Lavigne stopped the fight as Danzig (20-8-1) was fighting off a choke.

Lavigne thought Danzig had passed out. Danzig maintained he was conscious and still in the fight, which ended after one minute 45 seconds.

Also on the card at the Frank Erwin Special Events Center on the campus of the University of Texas, lightweight Ross (The Real Deal) Pearson (13-3) takes on Cole Miller (16-4). Pearson, winner of Season 9 of "The Ultimate Fighter," is undefeated in his three UFC fights.

Lightweight Jim Miller (17-2) looks to run his win streak to five against Gleison Tibau (31-6). Tibau, a Brazilian who trains with American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Fla., is coming off a first-round TKO over Caol Uno in March.

Speaking of UFC 116, former UFC middleweight champion Matt Hughes says on his website -- www.matt-hughes.com/ -- that heavyweight title-holder Brock Lesnar "fought a good fight (in beating Shane Carwin), but definitely showed that he is beatable. I really thought that it was going to get stopped in the first round. I've had people tell me it should have been stopped, but obviously the right call was made because Brock came back and won the fight in the next round. I know Brock wears a 4X glove, what I don't know is what size running shoe he wears because after he got hit he put them on for a little bit."
