Top 10 UFC middleweights take center stage when the Ultimate Fighting Championship® heads to The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014. In the night’s main event, former STRIKEFORCE middleweight champ and current No. 6 contender Luke Rockhold (10-2, fighting out of San Jose, Calif.) meets the ninth-ranked Costa Philippou (12-3, 1 NC, fighting out of Long Island, N.Y.) in a five-round bout.

Also on the card, Augusta, Ga. native Cole Miller (20-8, fighting out of Coconut, Creek, Fla.) returns to the Octagon following his recent win to take on Sam Sicilia (12-3, fighting out of Spokane, Wash.) at featherweight.

The card will also feature exciting striker Lorenz Larkin (14-1, 1 NC, fighting out of Riverside, Calif.) against Brad Tavares (11-2, fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.), who’s currently riding a four-fight win streak.

“Atlanta’s been home to two huge fight cards in the past and we’re bringing another one to the area on January 15,” UFC President Dana White said. “We’ve got the No. 6 UFC middleweight Luke Rockhold, who was a champion in STRIKEFORCE, taking on the ninth-ranked Costa Philippou, who’s got heavy hands and knockout power. We’re on an incredible hot streak of live events and the fans at Gwinnett Center can expect a great night of fights!”
