Orland Park native and former IFL welterweight Rory Markham has signed a four fight deal the Ultimate Fighting Championship.  He will fight on the undercard of UFC Fight Night 14 on July 19.  Rory's opponent is Brodie Farber and the match will be in the welterweight division.  Markham sports a 14-4 record and gained a reputation as an exciting fighter in the International Fight League as a member of Pat Miletich's team.  With the IFL facing an uncertain future Rory was allowed to fight elsewhere and most recently appeared in Adrenaline MMA's debut show earlier this summer.  He beat Jay Ellis with a triangle choke.

Combatwire talked to Markham recently about his future plans.  UFC Fight Night 14 will air on Spike TV the same night Affliction: Banned debuts on pay-per-view.
