An intriguing lightweight matchup between WEC import Donald Cerrone (13-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and British scrapper Paul Kelly (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) is now official for UFC 126.
UFC brass today officially announced the addition to the card, which is now again complete with 11 contests.
Featuring a highly anticipated main event between UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and top contender Vitor Belfort, "UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort" takes place Feb. 5 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and the night's main card on pay-per-view.
The "Cowboy" Cerrone vs. "Tellys" Kelly matchup, which was reported earlier this month by a mma blog, is slated for the evening's preliminary card.
Cerrone, a former top WEC lightweight contender, recently concluded his three-year WEC career with a submission victory over Chris Horodecki at the promotion-ending WEC 53 event. The Greg Jackson-trained fighter makes his UFC debut with three wins in his past four fights, which included a decision win over Jamie Varner and a submission victory over Ed Ratcliff.
Kelly, a British fighter and Kaobon team member, most recently scored a TKO win over T.J. O'Brien at UFC 123 event. The three-year UFC vet and former welterweight has rotated between wins and losses in his past five fights with addition victories over Roli Delgado and Matt Veach and losses to Dennis Siver and Jacob Volkmann.
Kelly was originally expected to face Sam Stout before an undisclosed injury forced the Canadian striker to withdraw from the event so up steps the cowboy for his UFC debut with the tough scrappy Brit.
With the official addition to the card, UFC 126 now includes:
MAIN CARD Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight title) Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha Ryan Bader vs. Jon Jones Antonio Banuelos vs. Miguel Torres PRELIMINARY CARD Paul Kelly vs. Donald Cerrone Chad Mendes vs. Michihiro Omigawa Gabe Ruediger vs. Paul Taylor Demetrious Johnson vs. Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto Kyle Kingsbury vs. Ricardo Romero Mike Pierce vs. Kenny Robertson
This is one hell of a card i think you will all agree

yeah what an awesome card! I just really hope that the Silva/Belfort fight will be as exiting or more as the Sonnen fight and not a dance around the xmastree contest.
