For the first time, two Ultimate Fighter® winners will face off. Ultimate Fighter season 2 winner Rashad Evans a 15-0-1 powerhouse wrestler, will take on Ultimate Fighter season 3 winner Michael Bisping, a dangerous striker with a current record of 15-0.

Bisping and Evans - two undefeated light heavyweights - look to break out of the pack and prove they are among the best in the division.

-This news leaves a host of questions to be answered. Who will Tito fight now? Silva? Jardine? Alexander? Liddell...again? Remember, he has only one fight left on his current UFC contract. Also what does this mean for the ever-gracious Matt Hamill? We were promised a rematch and that looks unlikely at least for a while. And what does this mean for the rest of the fight card at UFC 78: Validation?

We're working diligently to get you all of these answers and more. Check back for the latest as this story develops.
