Since the UFC has decided to produce 50+ events in 2014, there is a remarkable amount of fighter signings and new match-ups being set up throughout any given week. Many of these new signings are for match-ups that take place on the undercard, or on the Fight Pass portion of a PPV, so we are going to continue with a new weekly (or bi-weekly if needed) series of articles where we take a brief look at each and every bout booked by the promotion in one place.

Also on the fight card will be Ramsey Nijem vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira and Anthony Hamilton vs. Ruan Potts, which will take place on the preliminary portion of the card.
A rematch between Nik Lentz and Charles Oliveira is scheduled to take place at the rapidly expanding fight card in Connecticut. Additionally, a middleweight match-up between Chris Camozzi and Rafael Natal and a lightweight contest between Al Iaquinta and Rodrigo Damm is also on tap for the card.
