Gerald Harris vs newcomer: Maiquel Falcao, UFC 123

As UFC 123 looms closer, an additional bout has been added to already impressive card.

“The Ultimate Fighter” has produced some of the best talents in the world of mixed martial arts today. Most reside as contender within the organization, others have gone on to become
champions.

Gerald Harris, who has gone on an impressive 3-0 run inside the UFC, should be no exception to that trend.

And while Harris has racked up his three victories in the UFC (Since his stint on season 7 of TUF) with impressive finishes in each, including his third-round knockout of Renzo Gracie protege, Dave Branch–who was knocked out with a vicious slam by Harris. The slam heard-round-world was donned ESPN screens days after the the event at UFC 116 this past July.

Maiquel, a Brazilian who hails from the famed Chute Boxe Academy, may be Harris’ toughest test to date. Garnering a 25-3 record, 24 of those victories come by way of stoppage, and the 185-spitfire has not gone to a decision since 2004.

The bout with Harris will be his organizaton debut and will take place on November 20, at UFC 123 in Auburn Hills, a suburb just outside of Detroit.

No word on the bouts placement come
fight night has been confirmed yet.
