On December 3, UFC will be back in Florida with a stacked card. The promotion recently announced that the event will take place at Amway Center in Orlando.

So far, no headliner is officially set for the card. However, a fight between top ranked middleweight contenders Jack “The Joker” Hermansson and Derek Brunson is set for the event, and might very well serve as the main event.

The card also features a bunch of other exciting bouts, including fighters like Tracy Cortez, Amanda Ribas, Matt Schnell, Michael Johnson and Marc Diakiese.
