The next big UFC event is set to take place on Saturday, May 8th in Montreal. The Bell Centre will host UFC 113. On the slate, there will be six preliminary bouts before the main card of five fights. On the main card, Kimbo Slice will be looking for another UFC win leading up to the marquee bout for the Light Heavyweight title.

Light Heavyweight Championship bout: Mauricio Rua (+160) vs. Lyoto Machida (-200)

A couple of Brazilian fighters will square off again after meeting in UFC 104 last October. In that bout, Machida retained his belt in a controversial decision. Rua (18-4) hasn’t fought since that bout but his last victory in the cage was a notable one. Last April in UFC 97 at Montreal, Rua defeated MMA legend Chuck Liddell by a TKO. Machida is a perfect 16-0 in his pro MMA career. He has notable victories over B.J. Penn and Tito Ortiz. Look for Rua to gain some revenge this time around.

Welterweight bout: Paul Daley (+215) vs. Josh Koscheck (-275)

Daley (23-8-2) made his UFC debut last September with a TKO of Martin Kampmann. He followed up that victory with a win over Dustin Hazelett in his last bout in UFC 108. Koscheck (16-4) handled Anthony Johnson in his last fight back in November. With a little more experience in UFC bouts, Koscheck pulls this one out.

Lightweight bout: Jeremy Stephens (+160) vs. Sam Stout (-200)

Stephens (16-5) has dropped three of his last five bouts entering this matchup. He was able to stop Justin Buchholz in his last fight in September. Stout (15-5-1) will be fighting in his home country against the American Stephens. He defeated Joe Lauzon at UFC 108 in his most recent bout. With some support from the Canadian fans, Stout wins a close bout.

Heavyweight bout: Matt Mitrione (+110) vs. Kimbo Slice (-140)

Mitrione is a former NFL player who is getting prepared to fight professionally in an MMA bout for just the second time. He played briefly for the New York Giants (2002) and Minnesota Vikings (2005). In his MMA pro debut, Mitrione defeated Marcus Jones in December. Slice (4-1) became a household name a few years ago after some his street fights became an Internet sensation. After winning his first three pro bouts, Slice was embarrassed by Seth Petruzelli in 2008. Slice bounced back to win his UFC debut last December against Houston Alexander. Slice wins again in UFC 113.

Middleweight bout: Patrick Cote (-105) vs. Alan Belcher (-125)

Like Stout, Cote (13-5) will have some fan support in Montreal. The Canadian hasn’t fought since in 2008. In October of that year, Cote fell to Anderson Silva in a Middleweight title bout at UFC 90. He was the first fighter to make it into the third round against Silva in a UFC match. Belcher (15-6) was able to handle Wilson Gouveia in his last effort at UFC 107 in December. Cote pulls this slight upset in this one.
