UFC on Fox 15 bout order finalized, Herrig vs. VanZant opens up main card

Jason Silva-USA TODAY Sports

The bout order for UFC on Fox 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey is now complete. Middleweights Lyoto Machida and Luke Rockhold headline a very strong Fox show, with the winner potentially in line for a title shot (particularly for Rockhold). As if that wasn't enough, the co-main event pits Jacare Souza against Yoel Romero in another big middleweight tilt. The main card is rounded out by rising featherweight Max Holloway taking on Cub Swanson, while women's strawweights Felice Herrig and Paige VanZant kickoff the primetime broadcast.

In a change from the norm, the televised preliminary card will also air on Fox as opposed to FS1. New Jersey native Jim Miller battles the undefeated Paul Felder in a lightweight contest, plus bantamweight prospect Aljamain Sterling takes on short-notice opponent Takeya Mizugaki.
