UFC Fight Night 40 Free Fight: Erick Silva Starches Luis Ramos

UFC Fight Night 40 is set to go down next weekend, and the card is looking pretty good overall. Matt Brown takes on Erick Silva in the evening’s main event, Costa Phillipou goes up against Lorenz Larkin as co-main, Erik Koch vs. Daron Cruickshank should be good, Neil Magny and Tim Means will duke it out at welterweight and look for main cards appearances from rising stars Soa Palelei and Louis Smolka.

Ed Herman vs. Rafael Natal go at it on the prelims, and look out for Yan Cabral, Zak Cummings, Eddie Wineland, Jonny Eduardo, Nik Lentz and Manny Gamburyan. The main event could well prove to be a pivotal one, as the champion Johny Hendricks is still sidelined with injury. With the top of the division clogged and confused, the winner in Cincinnati could well find himself in prime position at 170.
