UFC 116 features a number of interesting matches on the main card besides the Heavyweight Championship bout between Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar.

Stephan Bonnar and Krzysztof Soszynski are going to finish the fight that was cut short at UFC 110 after a headbut. The first fight was a good, old-fashioned brawl as both wrestlers stood up and pounded on each other. After two rounds it could have been fight of the night, but the ref cut the fight short in the third after an unfortunate, and probably accidental, headbut. The UFC lines list Soszynski as heavy favorite at -250.

Kurt Pellegrino and George Sotiropoulos mix it up as two rising fighters in the UFC lightweight division look to establish themselves title contenders. Both fighters are riding winning streaks going in to this fight and the winner will likely get a shot at one of the top lightweights. Sotiropoulos is the favorite going in at -180.

Chris Lytle already owns a victory over Matt Brown winning by guillotine choke three years ago in a United Fight League fight. Both fighters have had a lot of experience fighting at the UFC, so it could very well end differently. Lytle is the favorite at -210.
