UFC 137 Fight Card: Middleweight Prospect Francis Carmont Signs With UFC, Debut Targeted For October
Carmont enters into the Octagon on the heels of a five-fight win streak capped by a first-round knockout over UFC-veteran Jason Day in June. Known as "Limitless," the Tristar Gym representative trains alongside such noted fighters as UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and up-an-comer Rory MacDonald. Carmont has fought at light heavyweight throughout his entire seven-year career, but soon plans to make his middleweight debut.
UFC 137 is headlined by a bout between St. Pierre and Carlos Condit for the UFC welterweight belt. The event is scheduled for October 29th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
