they mentioned it several times during ufc63, but i can't find an online announcement.

florian vs sherk for the lightweight belt. i was a bit surprised that they just skipped over pulver; maybe they wanted him to be the first contender? on the other hand, rogan thinks that j-lau is the current lightweight champ... ;)

i was kinda hoping they'd do something interesting to decide a lightweight champion (like, say, a tournament), but that much uncertainty about who might win would never sit will with dana.

A tournament would still be a good idea, just for the number of people who would watch it...

This is gonna be a good fight. Florian catches a lot of flack over at Sherdog for some reason; most likely because he comes off as educated and doesn't shave his head or have tattoos.

BTW does anyone know what Kenny's grappling credentials are?
