UFC Welterweight contender Demian Maia, who was scheduled to fight Mike Pyle in August, but had to pull out of the bout due to a bone infection, is ready for action, as he will meet Ryan LaFlare in one of the featured bouts on the card.

Another interesting Welterweight pairing is set for the event, as Erick Silva will square off with Ben Saunders.
