“Batman” Kurt Pellegrino has drawn UFC veteran Gleison Tibau at UFC 129 in Newark, NJ in March. The New Jersey native announced the bout via his Twitter feed last night.
The event, to be held at the Prudential Center (home to UFC 111) was originally set for Abu Dhabi, but has since been moved.
The rumored main event for the event will see UFC Light Heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua returning from a 10 month layoff to defend the strap against former champion Rashad Evans. Also planned for the card, Tito Ortiz vs. “Little Nog” Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
