TUF 8 middleweight winner, Amir Sadolla, confirmed what we already knew last night on another edition of “Inside the Octagon,” which is a series of brief announcements that are made during commercial breaks while the Spike TV mixed martial arts reality series airs on Wednesday nights.
Of course, this latest announcement comes hot on the heals of the three “superfights” confirmed (http://mmamania.com/2009/04/08/ufc-100-to-feature-three-superfights-in-las-vegas-on-july-11/) for the Centennial pay-per-view (PPV) event just yesterday.
Bonnar recently returned from a catastrophic knee injury while training for a big fight against Matt Hamill in April 2008, which derailed the progress he had made after a suspension for steroids.
In fact, he was on a two-fight win streak, finishing Eric Schafer and Mike Nickels, respectively, establishing himself once again as a dangerous light heavyweight threat. But the long layoff and a very gifted opponent, Jon Jones, ended that streak and happy return at UFC 94 on Jan. 31.
It was a tough pill for “The American Psycho” to swallow — he was visibly upset after the bout. However, the X-Treme Couture product will look to erase that memory when he hooks ‘em up with “The Hammer.”
