UFC matchmakers have announced the full card for UFC 84: Ill Will, scheduled for Saturday, May 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In the main event, current lightweight champ B.J. Penn (13-4-1) is scheduled to face former title holder Sean Sherk (35-2-1).

Sherk was suspended last year by the California State Athletic Commission after a test for steroids came back positive. After Sherk was stripped of the belt, Penn won the title by defeating Joe "Daddy" Stevenson (33-8-0) in January. The title match in May will be Sherk's first fight back in the octagon.

Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva (31-8-1) will also return to the octagon to face Keith 'The Dean of Mean" Jardine (13-4-1). Currently, Silva is a -160 favorite in the Bodog Sportsbook, while Jardine is a +130 underdog.

For the last fight on his UFC contract, Tito Ortiz (16-5-1) is scheduled to face undefeated Brazilian Lyoto Machida (12-0-0). Machida is the -200 favorite, while Ortiz is at +160 for what could be his last fight in the octagon.
