Brooks (19-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), the former Bellator lightweight champion, made his UFC debut at this past month’s The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale event and scored a decision win over Ross Pearson. Brooks is currently ranked No. 10 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings.

“Cowboy” Oliveira (15-3-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) returns to the lightweight division following a pair of matchups at 170 pounds. At July’s UFC on FOX 20 event, he picked up a decision win over fellow prospect James Moontasri. Five months earlier, he was submitted by perennial contender and fellow “Cowboy” Donald Cerrone.

Burkman (28-13 MMA, 6-8 UFC) fights for the third time as a lightweight. “The People’s Warrior” debuted in the divisions with a decision win over K.J. Noons this past February but then lost to Paul Felder in May. Now 1-3 in his second UFC run, Burkman likely finds himself in a must-win situation.

“King” Green (23-7 MMA, 4-2 UFC) looks to break a disappointing two-fight losing streak after suffering back-to-back losses to top contenders Dustin Poirier and Edson Barboza. Prior to the setbacks, the 29-year-old owned an eight-fight winning streak that included UFC victories over Josh Thomson, Pat Healy, James Krause and Jacob Volkmann.
