The UFC has confirmed five more fights for their stacked Super Bowl weekend card in Las Vegas.
The February 5 event takes place from the Mandalay Bay Events Center, headlined by the Middleweight Championship bout between Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort. The event is slated to air live on pay-per-view.
Four of the bouts on the night's main pay-per-view card had already been revealed, but the fifth will feature welterweights Jake Ellenberger and Carlos Eduardo Rocha. The other four bouts made official on Tuesday are all on the preliminary card.
Those four bouts include the return of Michihiro Omigawa in his UFC featherweight debut against Chad Mendes and the debut of Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto against Demetrious Johnson. Finally, two lightweight bouts in Sam Stout vs. Paul Kelly and Gabe Ruediger vs. Paul Taylor were made official as well.
Previously announced bouts include Rich Franklin vs. Forrest Griffin, Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader, Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos and Mike Pierce vs. Kenny Robertson.
