The UFC is idle this week before it takes the show to Paris for UFC Fight Night 209.
However, there are a number of MMA and bareknuckle events taking place that feature many familiar names that have competed under the UFC banner.
From one of the greatest of all time to a one-time appearance in a finale of The Ultimate Fighter, there are 11 veterans of the global leader competing this weekend from Aug. 26-28.
Check out the names and details about their bouts below.
