The UFC dropped a bombshell today during UFC Tonight, announcing both the main and co-main event for UFC Fight Night 57 taking place at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, on November 22nd.
Former UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar takes on the streaking Cub Swanson in what will most certainly be a No. 1 contender fight for the featherweight division. Swanson has won six straight bouts, but takes on the toughest bout in his career thus far against Edgar.

In the co-main event, Bobby Green will face off against Edson Barboza in a lightweight tilt. Both men are looking to break into the top 5 of the division, and a win here may do just that.
UFC Fight Night 57 is turning out to be quite the stacked card with a bevy of enticing matchups including the two aforementioned bouts. This is quickly becoming a can not miss event.
