The Round Up: UFC fight announcements for this week
UFC matchmakers got busy this week booking several notable fights for the rest of 2014 as well as a few key matchups to start the year in 2015.
Following a weight cutting disaster in his last fight, former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao gets back in action at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Dollaway in December against unlikely contender Mitch Gagnon.
