Verbal agreements are in for three fantastic bouts for this year's Fourth of July weekend event, slated for July 7 in Las Vegas.

Former UFC (http://www.infinitymuscle.event/UFC-Silva-vs-Irvin)middleweight champion Rich "Ace" Franklin will return to 185 to take on former Strikeforce champion Cung Le (http://www.infinitymuscle.fighter/Cung-Le).

In another middleweight matchup, top ten middleweights Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch (http://www.ufc.com/fighter/Tim-Boetsch) and Michael "The Count" Bisping (http://www.ufc.com/fighter/Michael-Bisping) will square off in a battle that could have major implications for the 185 title picture.

Bantamweight Renan Barao (http://www.infinitymuscle.fighter/Renan-Barao) has the greatest unbeaten streak in the sport -- a staggering 31 straight fights -- and he'll gun for another when he faces Jeff "Hellbound" Hougland (http://www.ufc.com/fighter/Jeff-Hougland) at UFC 148. Unbeaten since 2003, Hougland is looking for his 10th straight victory and a spot in the upper rankings of the bantamweight division.
