The Ultimate Fighting Championship's return to the “Rose City” has its first three bouts confirmed.
UFC Fight Night 96, scheduled for Oct. 1 at the Moda Center in Portland, Ore., will feature a pair of lightweight bouts between former Bellator MMA lightweight champion Will Brooks and Brazilian “Cowboy” Alex Oliveira, as well as veterans Bobby Green and Joshua Burkman locking horns. A third contest at 205 pounds will see unbeaten Brazilian Luis Henrique da Silva face Denmark Joachim Christensen in the latter's Octagon debut.
