Kimo is coming back from an impressive submission victory over hometown rival Tank Abbott at UFC 43, "Meltdown" last June in Las Vegas. Kimo was able to get into Tank’s guard almost at the opening bell and won the fight at the 1:59 of the first round with a front choke.

Another payback UFC fight re-match will be Matt Hughes VS Renalto Verissimo. Where Hughes will be looking for some payback because at UFC 46 "Super Natural" January 31 in Las Vegas, Renalto Verissimo wrested away Hughes’ long-held title.

The Phil Baroni and Evan Tanner fight will be a resurrection fight that was stopped by the UFC referee in the first round of their fight at UFC 45. Tanner was raining elbows on Baroni when the referee stepped in and stopped it because he mistakenly thought Baroni had verbally submitted. Now, Baroni will be looking for his chance for some payback.
