UFC on FX 5 takes place on October 5th from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The event will be headlined by a heavyweight battle between Travis Browne and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva.
A pair of veteran lightweights are set to square off when Jeremy Stephens takes on Yves Edwards. Both fighters will look to rebound from losses in their most recent outings. Stephens (20-8) was outpointed by Donald Cerrone at UFC on Fuel TV 3. The hard hitting Stephens has recorded 14 of his career victories by knockout. Edwards (41-18-1) dropped a unanimous decision to Tony Ferguson at The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale last December.
Mike Pierce will meet Aaron Simpson in a match-up of welterweight wrestlers. Pierce (14-5) is coming off a unanimous decision win against Carlos Eduardo Rocha at UFC on FX 3. Simpson (12-3) enjoyed a successful welterweight debut with a victory over Kenny Robertson at UFC on Fuel TV 4.
In flyweight action, Phil “Billy” Harris will make his UFC debut as an injury replacement for Louis Gaudinot to take on Darren Uyenoyama. Harris (21-9) will bring a five fighting winning streak to the octagon. Uyenoyama (7-3) last competed at UFC on FOX 1 where he earned a unanimous decision over Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto.
