After winning Season 7 of The Ultimate Fighter, Amir Sadollah (5-3) has had his share of peaks and valleys. In his first fight after TUF, and also his first fight at Welterweight, Amir lost via controversial TKO to Johny Hendricks in just twenty-nine seconds of the first round. Fortunately for him, he was able to bounce right back just three months later and pick up a decision victory over Phil Baroni in a very one-sided fight. Two months after that, he was right back in The Octagon again and picked up another tough decision victory over Brad Blackburn and it seemed like Amir was back in his groove.

The ultimate goal for most, if not all, aspiring MMA fighters is to earn a spot on the grandest stage of them all, The UFC. However, making the UFC roster does not guarantee you will stay there forever.  When it comes to the fight game, if you don’t win you could find yourself in the unemployment line.

Over the past couple months, many of Strikeforce’s fighters have crossed over and competed in the UFC Octagon. At tonight’s UFC on FOX 2, “Big” Lavar Johnson (15-5) will become the next Strikeforce fighter to cross over into the UFC. Waiting for him across the cage will be Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (13-6), who has been on a rough patch lately having gone 1-3 in his last four fights. Johnson, too, has hit a rough patch of his own in losing back-to-back fights, both by way of submission. Fortunately for Johnson, Beltran only has one victory by way of submission so he shouldn’t have to worry about being submitted this time around.
