- A pair of fighters who share an extended connection through June's UFC
on Versus 4 event now will face off in October as Charlie Brenneman
(14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) faces Anthony "Rumble" Johnson (9-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC).
UFC officials today announced the new matchup after Brenneman hinted at the bout on his official Twitter account.
"I feel a 'Rumble' coming on," Brenneman stated.
What remains a mystery at this point is where the fight will take place.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has
learned from sources close to the promotion that the two could be
heading to an as-yet-unannounced October event, which could possibly air
on Versus or Spike TV. However, UFC 136 and UFC 137 remain
possibilities, as well.
Brenneman, of course, took advantage of Nate Marquardt's recent
misfortune by stepping in on just one day's notice in the co-feature of
June's UFC on Versus 4 event. Brenneman outwrestled Rick Story, who was a
replacement for an injured Johnson, en route to a unanimous-decision
win.
Brenneman is 9-1 in his past 10 fights, which includes a 3-1 mark in the
octagon. The lone loss in that stretch was a UFC 117 defeat at the
hands of Johny Hendricks. mmajunkie | |

| Brenneman could really get a boost in his ranking with a win over Rumble. Taking that Story fight may have been the best thing to happen to his career. | |
