UFC 125: Resolution is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on January 1, 2011 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. On October 26, 2010, Shane Carwin had to pull out of his fight with Roy Nelson due to a back injury that required surgery. Nelson has since been pulled from the card all together. On October 28, 2010, UFC president Dana White announced that World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) would merge with the UFC and that WEC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo would be promoted to UFC Featherweight Champion. Josh Grispi was pulled from a planned WEC 52 bout with Erik Koch to challenge Aldo for the Featherweight title at this event. Aldo was later forced off the card with an injury. Grispi will remain on the card and face Dustin Poirier. A lightweight bout between Cole Miller and Matt Wiman, which was originally scheduled to take place at this event, has been moved to UFC: Fight For The Troops 2.
