The event, which takes place at the Cedar Park Center and airs live on premium cable network Showtime, is headlined by a lightweight showdown between unbeaten prospect Lyle “Fancy Pants” Beerbohm (155.75) and tough veteran Pat Healy (155.5).

Beerbohm, a submission specialist from Spokane, Wash., carries into the fight a flawless record of 15-0 and has finished all but two of his opponents. Healy, whose lengthy ledger stands at 25-17, has won five of his last seven and looks to rebound from a June 2010 submission loss to former Strikeforce champion Josh Thomson.

Also featured on the five-bout main card is the sophomore professional outing of Ryan Couture (155.5), the 28-year-old son of UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture. Houston native Lee Higgins (154.5) will attempt to derail the hype train behind Couture, who posted a 5-1-1 mark as an amateur before turning pro.

Rounding out the televised portion of the show are a 160-pound bout between Carlo Prater (160) and Bryan Travers (159.75); a 150-pound catchweight contest pitting David “Tarzan” Douglas (150) against “The Ghost” Nick Gonzalez (150); and a welterweight matchup featuring Erik Apple (170.75) and Ryan Larson (170.25).
