Officials today announced a quartet of "superfights" for the UFC Fan Expo trade and exhibition show in Boston, which coincides with next month's UFC 118 event.

Members of MMA's first family, other grappling notables and even a former WEC champion are part of the lineup.

The bouts include Rolles Gracie vs. Roberto Abreu, Gregor Gracie vs. Pablo Popovitch, Hermes Franca vs. Ryan Hall, and Penny Thomas vs. Tracey Goodell.

While most MMA pundits wouldn't consider Bellator Fighting Championships
and the UFC direct rivals, they soon will be - in court.

According to a report by Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole, Zuffa, LLC, the
parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has filed suit in a
Nevada court against MMA Agents' head Ken Pavia and the Bellator
organization.

At the center of the concern is alleged theft of "trade secrets and
confidential Zuffa documents," which Zuffa contends Pavia passed along
to Bellator officials.
