MMAJunkie.com is reporting that the fight between TUF winner Amir Sadollah and UFC newcomer Nick Catone is being rescheduled. The original fight between Catone and Sadollah was scratched from the UFC 91 card after Sadollah got an infection in his leg.
The fight will be part of UFC Fight Night 17, scheduled for February. You can read Sadollah’s statement about his injury here. Staph infections are becoming more common these days and it’s better to get them checked out and treated before it becomes worse.

So holy crap. If you haven’t heard the news anywhere else than you obviously were not interested in the outcome of the fights that took place Saturday night. I honestly should have posted something about this yesterday but I have a bit of a cold. So lets see what went on.

Starting with the main event. Brock Lesnar came out hungry and proved that he’s not just a hyped up former WWE cash draw. While I like Randy Couture I just had a feeling that Brock’s size and (real) wrestling background was going to be an issue. When you pit …read more

 
UFC has announced the the welterweight co-main event fight between Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson at UFC 91 will be for the No. 1 contender fight foe BJ Penn’s lightweight championship.
The winner of the fight will be guaranteed a shot at Penn’s title after the Penn Vs. St Pierre welterweight championship fight at UFC 94.
Flooian goes in to this match with a victory over Roger Huerta at UFC 87 by unanimous decision. Before this fight happened Dana White said the winner of that bout would most likely get a title shot. However after Florian’s win B.J. Penn was scheduled for …read more

After Matt Riddle’s knee injury kept him out of his fight with Ryan Thomas in UFC 91, a replacement has been named. That name is Matt Brown.
Matt Brown’s last fight was lost by decision at UFC 88 to Korean fighter Dong Hyun Kim. Brown was a promising candidate on The Ultimate Fighter 7 but lost to Amir Sadollah, who also went on to win the season and a six figure UFC contract.
Matt Brown has only has two weeks to ready himself for this undercard fight.

In case you missed this back in September, ESPN aired this segment with UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture and UFC newcomer Brock Lesnar on their upcoming UFC 91 fight.. Less than two weeks away we should see if this is a fight wroth paying for or if we’ll be kicking ourselves in the ass the next day. Check it out…

I don’t know what Randy Couture thinks he has to prove by fighting Brock Lesnar or if the UFC is trying to cash in on such a fight before the years end? I thought this was an odd, "Throw a vet at a rookie" type match that could go one sided…either way. You look at the fighter profiles.
You have Randy Couture:  A veteran octagon fighter since UFC 13, with 15 win and 8 loses. 6′ 2" tall and 220 pounds. He’s held the UFC heavyweight championship 3 times and the Light-Heavyweight championship twice.

Tickets to see UFC Rookie Brock Lesnar fight UFC Veteran Randy Couture go on sale to the public this Saturday (9/20) at 11 am for the MGM Grand Garden Arena on November 15th. Tickets are said to run from $75 to $1000. I’ll talk more about this fight in the near future.
Other fights confirmed for the even are Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory and Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson

We have all heard it before when it comes to Randy Couture. “He’s too old, not big enough, not strong enough, his time has passed” only to be silenced by the MMA legend.

Randy left the UFC in Oct of 2007 partially out of frustration the company did not sign Fedor Emelianenko. While Randy still remains hopeful a deal can eventually be worked out to fight the widely regarded greatest Heavyweight in the World, there is …read more
