There is never a dull moment in the mixed martial arts community, and if you don’t keep up with the latest breaking news, you are bound to miss a few huge fight announcements here and there.
Thankfully you have FightHubTV picking up your slack and recapping the biggest fight announcements the day later!
Yesterday was quite the ride in the MMA universe, as Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones, and Wanderlei Silva all faced punishment from the NSAC.
Amidst the hoopla, the UFC unveiled several big time fights coming your way in the following months that will certainly have you giddy with anticipation. Check out all the announcements below.
Nate Diaz vs. Rafael dos Anjos (UFC on FOX 13): UFC on FOX 13 has a co-main event, and Nate Diaz has returned to the lightweight fold. Taking on the dangerous No. 3 lightweight contender Rafael Dos Anjos, Diaz has a stiff test in front of him in his return to the Octagon. If Diaz is able to defeat RDA, he could find himself in a title fight in early 2015.
No. 2 ranked and injured lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov was not too pleased hearing the rumblings that Diaz would “earn” a title shot by defeating Rafael Dos Anjos.
Welcome back Nate Diaz to the @ufc he’s 4 and 4 in his last 8 fights. People say if he wins he should get a title shot. This is madness

Eddie Gordon vs. Josh Samman (UFC 181): Eddie “Truck” Gordon has been petitioning to get on UFC 181 for quite some time, and yesterday the TUF 19 winner’s wish was granted. Truck won’t have an easy fight by any means as he takes on the TUF 17 product Josh Samman. You can bet these two men will go toe-to-toe and give the fans a show.
Anthony Birchak vs. Ian Entwistle (UFC on FOX 13): Before Joe Soto was selected to take a UFC title fight on just 24 hours notice in his UFC debut, he was set to take on fellow UFC debutant Anthony Birchak on the preliminary portion of the card.
A few weeks later and Birchak has a new UFC debut scheduled, so look out for him to make a statement come UFC on FOX 13.
Chico Camus vs. Brad Pickett (UFC Fight Night: Austin): This fight has all the makings of a “fight of the night” as both men never fail to put on a show. Set this one in your calendars folks, for you do not want to miss it.
