The UFC’s third event of the year goes down Saturday with UFC on FOX 27, which takes place at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. A middleweight rematch serves as the main event. After scoring a 41-second knockout victory under the now-defunct Strikeforce banner in August 2012, Ronaldo Souza (24-5 MMA, 7-2 UFC) will attempt to repeat history against Derek Brunson (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC), who is riding a wave of first-round knockout wins. In the history of its FOX-broadcast shows, UFC on FOX 27 is among the weaker cards. There still are some relevant footnotes, though.
