Sources close to both camps indicated to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that bout agreements have been signed for the matchup, which was first reported by the Las Vegas Sun. The fight is set for the event's main card. UFC 115 is expected for June 12 at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. A headlining bout has not been confirmed, though rumors have pointed at a third meeting between former light heavyweight champions and "Ultimate Fighter 11" coaches Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz as the evening's featured contest. The promotion booked the event shortly after the Vancouver City Council green-lighted a two-year pilot program to regulate mixed martial arts. Technically, the sport is still illegal under Canada's criminal code, but the government has not blocked shows in major cities like Montreal, Calgary, and Edmonton. :happy:happy:happy:happy This has fireworks written all over it!
Barry is the best striker at HW in the UFC. The guy would KO JDS. Off course, if JDS is smart, he would bring him down and sub him easily. Barry is a scary dude with a great story!
