Let’s try this again. According to Fighters Only, lightweights Terry Etim and Joe Lauzon have verbally agreed to fight at the August 4th UFC on FOX 4 card in Los Angeles. The two had been scheduled to face each other at UFC 118 in 2010 but an injury to Etim forced a replacement.

The UFC 144: Edgar vs. Henderson fight card was one of the best cards of the year thus far and featured many memorable moments. With all the great fights the UFC brass had some tough decisions to make tonight regarding the “Fight Night” bonuses.

A fighter’s nickname sometimes can be helpful or mocking towards their career. Karo Parysian has seemed to lose “Heat” over the years, Chuck Liddell was the one becoming “The Iceman” as he was stiff from knockouts and Diego Sanchez, who knows – “Dirty” always seemed better than the nightmare or dream or vision or whatever he is calling himself this week.
