The UFC is going back to the United Kingdom in 2011 after all.

UFC 138 will be held on Nov. 5 at the LG Arena in Birmingham, England, the organization announced via Twitter on Tuesday.

No official word just yet on where the fight will air in the United States, but reports have indicated it will air on Spike TV via tape delay.

The card will be headlined by Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz, and according to a UFC official, it will mark the first five-round non-title fight main event in UFC history.

UFC 89, headlined by Chris Leben vs. Michael Bisping, was last event to be held in Birmingham. That card took place at the National Indoor Arena. The UFC's last show in England was UFC 120, which took place in October 2010.

Munoz (11-2) has won his last three fights in a row. He most recently defeated Demian Maia at UFC 131 in June.

Leben (26-7) has won four of his last five fights, most recently knocking out Wanderlei Silva at UFC 132 earlier this month.

The entire fight card is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Is this a good or bad maincard? Weak but still a war maybe? Hard to know on beforehand... What do you think?

The shows in UK historically has been pretty "weak", given the time difference and a multitude of factors they can't really stack them to PPV level so you have fight nights. Personally I don't really care there's always going to be some good fights. UFC 120 wasn't great but the top 3 fights were really good imo.

I've attended both German UFC cards, with the first being an amazing card, the second good, but not as good as the first, when a card in the UK will be interesting enough, I might want to pay the flight for that as well, I hope they come up with some good names!
