With Alves Hurt, Jon Fitch to Fight Mike Pierce at UFC 107

Posted By james UFC News

The third time will hopefully be the charm for Jon Fitch (19-3) now that up-and-coming welterweight Mike Pierce (10-1) has agreed to step up and face him at UFC 107 from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn., on Dec. 12.

Pierce was originally slated to meet Josh Koscheck at UFC Fight Night 20 until “Kos” was promoted to the UFC 106 co-main event opposite Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.

Like Pierce, Fitch was left without an opponent when Ricardo Almeida injured his knee and withdrew from their UFC 106 bout on Nov. 21. Zuffa worked a little magic and booked him in a rematch of former number one welterweight contenders opposite Thiago Alves on Dec. 12; however, “Pitbull” also went down with a knee injury and was forced to bow out.

Fitch returned to the Octagon at UFC 100 to exact revenge against submission specialist Paulo Thiago, taking the contest via unanimous decision. The Brazilian stunned his good friend and American Kickboxing Academy training partner, Josh Koscheck, with a fight-ending first round uppercut at UFC 95: “Sanchez vs. Stevenson” earlier this year.

Why do all you bitches moan about the ufc, slating there fighters and dana. Just don't watch it if your sure its gonna be so bad. I think ufc has the best mma fighters in the world with a few exceptions. And the reason you haven't heard of some of these guys is cause there up and coming. Honestly bitches, just shut the feck up!

Uhhhh, drew, Condit who?!?!?

Are you kidding me? This fight will suck big time!

Quite frankly the next five UFC cards will suck!

Couture, Vera, Tito, Griffin, Kimbo, Alexander, Mir, Kongo, are you kidding me?

The UFC will turn MMA into a low quality circus! At UFC 125 we will have MMA tag team matches...

believe me!
