The defeat to Kevin Burnes at UFC 85 has made the Brazilian Roan Jucão drops some steps in the ranking of the welterweight category. However, UFC 88, which is scheduled to take place on September 6 at Atlanta, United States, Jucão will have a double chance in his career. The first is the return fight against Ryo Chonan, who defeated his at Deep on 2005, and the second, is the opportunity to re-breathe at the event. "This is an important fight for the Jucão. It is a fight he wanted for a long time and it didn’t happen at UFC 85 because Chonan got injured. He is now training hard and he is going very well prepared for this fight", revealed to TATAME the manager Alex Davis.

Yea pretty much what you said, not anything earth shattering, but still a good fight for sure, I wonder if it will be on the prelims or main card?

Good find

The way this card is shaping up you have to guess prelims or maybe first televised fight of the night.

Chonen can finally eat now. Also I think if he loses he's going the way of Nakamura and will be released.

Solid fight but there's no way this fight makes the main card. Especially with Liddell/Evans, Hendo/Palhares, Hamill/Franklin and Parisyan/Yoshida already announced. There's only room for 1 more main card fight and this can't be high on UFC's priorities, especially with Carneiro losing to Burns.
