Maguire will look to bounce back from his first loss in over two years at UFC on FUEL TV 5 when he faces Riddle. The loss to fellow countryman John Hathaway was his first loss in the UFC as well.
The bout will remain on the Facebook portion of the November fight card.
UFC 154 will signal the return of UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre as he takes on interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit for the undisputed UFC welterweight crown. The card will take place November 17 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre makes his long awaited return from an injury to battle Carlos Condit at UFC 154. St-Pierre last fought at UFC 129 in April 2011 where he successfully defended his title against Jake Shields. However, a knee injury has kept St-Pierre sidelined since late last year. That injury opened the doors for an interim champion to be crowned when Condit squared off against Nick Diaz at UFC 143 in February. Condit would go on to capture the interim title with a unanimous decision win over Diaz.
UFC 154 goes down on November 17th from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The co-main event features a number one contender bout between welterweights Martin Kampmann and Johny Hendricks.

As expected, it looks like UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo will be putting his divisional gold up for grabs against former lightweight title-holder Frankie Edgar the next time he steps into the Octagon. The two were originally scheduled to face off a few weeks ago before Aldo was forced to withdraw due to injury.
According to UFC Tonight, Aldo and Edgar will fight on February 2 at UFC 156. The card marks the organization’s annual Super Bowl Weekend extravaganza, meaning the lineup is likely to be stacked considering the show’s historical significance.
The bout will be Edgar’s first at featherweight after tearing up the scene as a 155-pounder despite his diminutive frame. “The Answer” holds an overall record of 14-3-1 including impressive wins over Gray Maynard, Jim Miller, Sean Sherk, and BJ Penn.
Edgar Doesn’t See Many Weaknesses in Aldo’s Attack
In contrast, Aldo has always been seen as being relatively big for 145 pounds. Regardless, his success in the cage has earned the 21-1 Brazilian status as one of MMA’s top pound-for-pound fighters. He has emerged with his hand raised in fourteen straight scraps with success against the likes of Mark Hominick, Cub Swanson, Kenny Florian, and most recently Chad Mendes.
