UFC 109 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on February 6, 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Background
A previously rumoured bout between Renzo Gracie and Matt Hughes will not take place on this card, but may still happen on a UFC card sometime in 2010.
A Middleweight Championship bout between Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort was confirmed by UFC President Dana White, though it was contingent on Silva's successful recovery from elbow surgery. On 29 November 2009, the fight was cancelled due to Silva's continued slow healing from surgery.
