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.
