The UFC 109 preliminary card scheduled to culminate with a Spike TV airing of Mac Danzig vs. Justin Buchholz featured a number of interesting matchups, including the UFC debut of Rolles Gracie.
Gracie, set to fight Joey Beltran, would represent the first member of the legendary family to compete on a UFC show since 2006. A heavy favorite, would Gracie live up to the hype?
Other preliminary battles include a televised clash between Melvin Guillard and Ronys Torres as well as unaired fights like Rob Emerson vs. Phillipe Nover and Brian Stann vs. Phil Davis.
