We all knew UFC 148 was going down on July 7th in Las Vegas, and we knew most of the bouts on the main card already. Zuffa decided to make it official today with a press release, and they confirmed the five bouts on the main card. Since Michael Bisping vs. Tim Boetsch was moved to UFC 149, Demian Maia's welterweight debut against Dong Hyun Kim has been promoted in it's place.
