Alan Belcher made a lot of noise in an interview with Sherdog earlier this week, basically stating that he's disappointed in how the UFC has been steering his career. He wants fights that will take him towards a title shot. Well that wish has been granted as he'll take on the last title challenger and MMA For Real top ten middleweight Demian Maia at UFN 22 according to MMAFighting.com:
A middleweight match-up between Alan Belcher and Demian Maia has been verbally agreed to by both fighters for Ultimate Fight Night 22 on Sept. 15, MMA Fighting has learned from sources close to the event.
Belcher is coming off an exciting win over Patrick Cote back at UFC 113, winning via submission in the second round. Whereas, Maia is coming off a pretty lopsided decision loss to Anderson Silva back at UFC 112.
I really like this fight. Can Maia get it to the ground a pull off the submission, or can Belcher keep it standing and punish Maia?

Man should be pretty interesting
I’m a Maia mark but Belcher might be a handful for him. Good fight.

true
I think Belcher has a really good shot at putting Maia away…..then only thing that concerns me is that Belcher is mistake prone at times…

If Belcher can stay off his back he can win this,

Why don't I like Belcher?
Every time he fights, I hope he loses. He seems like an alright guy but I just don’t like the guy.

Belcher Fan!
I just like what he does in the ring. He has guts and doesn’t pussy-foot in the ring. He’s not the most dynamic fighter but does well standing, handles himself off his back and all that.
Fighters will eventually learn that talking works. It also helps when you win a fight or two.
