Brazilian middleweight Demian Maia looks to rebound from a loss to UFC champion Anderson Silva when he takes on Alan (The Talent) Belcher on Sept. 15 in Austin, Texas.

The televised "UFC Fight Night" card also features a rematch between lightweights (Handsome) Matt Wiman and Mac Danzig.

Wiman won controversially last month in Vancouver at UFC 115 when referee Yves Lavigne stopped the fight as Danzig (20-8-1) was fighting off a choke.

Lavigne thought Danzig had passed out. Danzig maintained he was conscious and still in the fight, which ended after one minute 45 seconds.

Also on the card at the Frank Erwin Special Events Center on the campus of the University of Texas, lightweight Ross (The Real Deal) Pearson (13-3) takes on Cole Miller (16-4). Pearson, winner of Season 9 of "The Ultimate Fighter," is undefeated in his three UFC fights.

Lightweight Jim Miller (17-2) looks to run his win streak to five against Gleison Tibau (31-6). Tibau, a Brazilian who trains with American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Fla., is coming off a first-round TKO over Caol Uno in March.
