Yves Edwards vs. Isaac Vallie-Flagg added to February's UFC 156 fight card

A lightweight bout between Strikeforce import Isaac Vallie-Flagg (13-3-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and "Thugjitsu Master" Yves Edwards (42-18-1 UFC, 10-6 UFC) is the latest addition to February's UFC 156 event.

UFC officials today announced the new booking.

Featuring a headliner of UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (21-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) against former lightweight titleholder Frankie Edgar (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC), UFC 156 takes place Feb. 2 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

The evening's main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook. UFC officials did not reveal where the Vallie-Flagg vs. Edwards matchup will take place on the evening's lineup.

Flag enters the UFC after earning back-to-back split-decision wins over the Gesias"JZ" Cavalcante and Brian Melancon under the Strikeforce banner. The Jackson-Winkeljohn fighter has fought professionally since 2003 and currently boasts an 11-fight unbeaten streak after opening his career at just 3-3.

Meanwhile, Edwards returns quickly to action after earning a "Knockout of the Night" stoppage of Jeremy Stephens at December's UFC on FOX 5 event. Due to injury and the odd fight-day arrest of Jeremy Stephens at October's UFC on FX 5 event, Edwards fought just once in 2012.

With the new addition, UFC 156 now includes:

Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar - for featherweight title
Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio Silva
Jon Fitch vs. Demian Maia
Evan Dunham vs. Gleison Tibau
Bobby Green vs. Jacob Volkmann
Edwin Figueroa vs. Francisco Rivera
Joseph Benavidez vs. Ian McCall
Jay Hieron vs. Tyron Woodley
Yves Edwards vs. Isaac Vallie-Flagg

Chico Camus vs. Dustin Kimura joins UFC 156 Super Bowl show

A bantamweight bout between Chico Camus (12-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and undefeated promotional newcomer Dustin Kimura (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is the newest addition to next month's UFC 156 card.

UFC officials today announced the bout.

UFC 156 takes place Feb. 2 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

Camus vs. Kimura will be part of the prelims.

Camus, a Roufusport fighter based out of Wisconsin, recently made his UFC debut and scored a unanimous-decision victory over well-regarded Dustin Pague at UFC 150. It marked his fourth straight victory, all of which have come via decision. However, seven of his first eight wins came via stoppage.

He now takes on Kimura, a Hawaiian submission specialist who turned pro three-and-a-half years ago. After competing for a handful of Hawaiian promotions, Kimura headed to the Philippines in November for PXC 34, where he defeated Guy Delumeau (16-7-3 at the time) with a third-round knockout.

With the new addition, UFC 156 now includes:

Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar - for featherweight title
Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio Silva
Jon Fitch vs. Demian Maia
Evan Dunham vs. Gleison Tibau

NSAC licenses Alistair Overeem for UFC 156 fight with Antonio Silva

Following a Tuesday hearing with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Alistair Overeem has been cleared to fight Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in the co-main event of February's UFC 156 event.

Overeem was required to appear in front of the commission after the NSAC declined to license him for a planned May 2012 fight with Junior dos Santos due to a failed drug screen. During the hearing, he said the ordeal proved educational, and he has since taken steps to ensure he never again fails a drug screen.

"I think we've done everything we could to correct ourselves from the errors that were made, and I'm just ready to get my life back on track," Overeem told the commission. "I'm ready to get back to fighting."

NSAC executive director Keith Kizer revealed Overeem sent in five voluntary testing results between June and November and was also subjected to NSAC-administered blood and urine testing on Nov. 16 and Dec. 21. All results were negative. After hearing Overeem's testimony, the NSAC voted unanimously to approve his application

The massively chiseled Overeem has long been at the center of controversy regarding performance-enhancing drug use accusations. The Dutchman long contended he was a "clean fighter" and the "most-tested athlete in sports." However, he was in 2011 suspended by the NSAC when a a pre-UFC 146 drug test was flagged for a 14-to-1 testosterone-to-epitestosterone (T/E) ratio, more than twice the 6-to-1 ratio allowed by the commission.

Overeem maintained his innocence throughout his NSAC hearings and suggested a prescribed injection was responsible for his heightened ratios. Still, the NSAC declined to issue him a license and refused to hear a new application before Dec. 27. With the issue behind him, Overeem said he's ready to move forward with his career and is looking forward to UFC 156.

"Today I went for my license," Overeem told MMAjunkie following the hearing. "I'm very happy to inform you guys that I got licensed to fight Feb. 2 in the UFC against 'Bigfoot' Silva.

"For me, it's now back to work, back to entering the gym. I'm already basically in shape, so it's just a couple more weeks of grinding it, and then it's going to be showtime again."

Overeem said he spent his de facto suspension focused on training and has actually added weight since his most recent appearance, a UFC 141 win over Brock Lesnar in December 2011. Overeem credited work with a new nutritionist and medical team for ensuring his testosterone levels are now within allowable limits.

"I just invested in getting to the next level; 2012 was not a lost year" Overeem said. "It was a year of learning from mistakes and preparing for a better 2013."

Zwaarder dan tijdens ufc 141, klinkt goed
ben benieuwd! Laatste tijd veel mensen die zeggen dat hij kleiner is geworden. Ik hoop dat hij hun de mond snoert en overtuigend wint

[Turboknecht]

Dit kanaal is niet van ons, en we hebben niks te maken met het promofilmpje. Vervelend dat je naam er vanaf is geknipt !
Ik weet ook helaas niet wie het precies wie achter het youtube kanaal zit maar hij was zo vriendelijk om op ons verzoek de naam te veranderen om verwarring te voorkomen. Ook heeft hij vermeld dat het geen officieel The Reem kanaal is. We gaan ons best doen het youtube kanaal voor het nieuwe seizoen een nieuwe boost te geven met alle en de nieuwe episodes.

Groeten !

Ja had het gezien dat zijn naam is veranderd. Blijkbaar luistert hij wel naar jou, en terecht. Ik ben geblokkeerd door hem nadat ik vroeg wat voor praktijken dat waren om te knoeien met deze promo. Heb youtube maar ingelicht.

[StrikeforceRoy]

Nou, de claim heeft geholpen. Het filmpje is van zijn pagina verwijderd . Dit is de goede link!!
