The war of words and hatred between the two has turned this fight into something very personal, and things will get sick when they meet at UFC 84 - ILL WILL.
Also on the card, the brash and controversial "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz faces undefeated Karate master Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida.

Despite the UFC's most popular fighter missing the International event, a stellar card remains on tap including Fabricio "Vai Cavalo" Werdum vs. Brandon ''The Truth'' Vera, Jorge "El Conquistador"Rivera vs. Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann and Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis vs. Mike "Quick" Swick just to name a few.
Once the world's top cage fighting series returns from across the pond, it will be time to begin the countdown to UFC 86 - JACKSON vs. GRIFFIN, as the action returns to the strip on Saturday, July 5th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The main event pits perennial fan favorite Forrest Griffin against UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton ''Rampage'' Jackson.
