Background:
On October 21, it was announced that a previous matchup between welterweight contenders Thiago Alves and Paulo Thiago had been changed to Alves vs. Jon Fitch because Fitch's opponent for UFC 106, Ricardo Almeida suffered an injury. Paulo Thiago fought at UFC 106 in November against UFC newcomer Jacob Volkmann.
It was then announced on October 30, that Fitch would again be without an opponent as Alves was forced to withdraw because of a posterior cruciate ligament tear. It was later announced that Jon Fitch will face Mike Pierce at UFC 107.
Todd Duffee was forced out of a fight. Stefan Struve will replace him against Paul Buentello.

look forward to seeing 'em
i was thinking along the same lines but i feel Diego’s enough of a stud to roll with BJ…id love to see him TKO the Prodigy but that would be a bridge too far i fear…

Funch
trains with Team Link as Rich indicated….and he is undefeated..however, almost all of his wins are against guys with 2-3 fights are making their debut against him…he does have a victory over a guy that beat UFC fighting John Howard a while back…he’s never faced anyone with the wrestling pedigree of Hendricks…but Funch’s base is BJJ from what I understand…

hopefully the handicappers in vegas/reno won't know much about either fighter
hendricks fight with amir lasted 15-20 seconds? hopefully the fight is even. i’ll take hendricks wrestling over this guy.
