Welcome to the UFC, Guimaraes and de la Rocha

What's this, the UFC has actually gone out and picked up some upcoming talent in their heavier divisions with the signing of a new heavyweight and a new light heavyweight fighter.

It's always an exciting day when the UFC brings up some new talent in their bigger weight classes. While there's a steady trickle of fighters into the middleweight division, heavyweights are a rare commodity and light heavyweights, frankly, don't exist. And yet, here we are with two new fighters both fighting at 205 and above. The first of these is new signing Chris de la Rocha, who substitutes for an injured Konstantin Erokhin in Glasgow, Scotland.
