The UFC’s first event on Versus has developed into quite the card for free television. Brandon Vera vs. Jon Jones and Junior dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga have already been announced as co-headliners, and today the UFC added a heavyweight match-up between strikers Cheick Kongo and Paul Buentello. There will be a lot of leather thrown in that one.

Also, Sean Sherk was expected to meet Clay Guida on the card, but he suffered an undisclosed injury and has since been replaced by Shannon Gugerty.
