The UFC has finalized the lineup for next weekend's UFC 123 pay-per-view card from The Palace of Auburn Hills outside of Detroit, Mich. The UFC had previously announced the main and co-main events for the card, which will feature Quinton "Rampage" Jackson against Lyoto Machida and Matt Hughes against B.J. Penn, and now they've confirmed the final nine fights for the night's card.
The main card will also feature Joe Lauzon vs. George Sotiropoulos, Tim Boetsch vs. Phil Davis and Maiquel Falcao vs. Gerald Harris, while the Matt Brown vs. Brian Foster and Mark Munoz vs. Aaron Simpson bouts are set to air on Spike TV in an hour long "Prelims Live" broadcast.
The preliminary card is rounded out with four fights. Dennis Hallman vs. Karo Parisyan, Darren Elkins vs. Edson Barboza, Paul Kelly vs. T.J. O'Brien and Nik Lentz vs. Tyson Griffin are all now set for the event. The card marks the UFC's first return to the Detroit area since UFC 9 in 1996.
