The UFC€™s sixth offering on FX, scheduled for 15th December 2012, is starting to take shape with confirmation of a Lightweight bout between the UK€™s Ross Pearson and Australian jiu jitsu standout George Sotiropoulos. MMA Junkie have reported that the show will take place in Australia although a City and venue are still to be confirmed. The card will also feature a Middleweight clash between former Bellator World Champion Hector Lombard and Rousimar Palhares. Pearson and Sotiropoulos have been opposing Coaches in the recently filmed TUF series €œThe Smashes€ which debuts 19th September on FX in Australia. The show, which has been billed as the UK Vs Australia, can also be viewed on tuf.tv for the rest of the World. Sotiropoulos, who originally comes from Geelong, Victoria, will most likely enjoy a huge hometown advantage with the crowd on his side, as the bout against Ross Pearson takes place in his homeland of Australia.
