Few fights made semi official

A couple of fights over the last few days were made Semi Official (only the UFC hasn’t announced it).

• Paul Buentello vs. Todd Duffee was added to the UFC 107 card . UFC 107 will be December 12 with B.J. Penn facing Diego Sanchez in the main event for the Lightweight title. Todd Duffee after his 7 second TKO over Tim Hague at UFC 102 asked for the fast track to the top. Looks like he got his request as the UFC will put him in there against the veteran Paul “The Headhunter Buentello. Buentello will be making his return to the octagon after being away for almost 4 years and has been in against some of the biggest names in MMA including Tanner, Rodriguez, Arlovski and Overeem. This will be a stand up war that should give Duffee a stern test  and show us how good he really is.

Two fights were also announced for the year end event (UFC 108) which will actually happen at the beginning of the year (Jan. 2).

• Anderson Silva will defend his belt againstVitor Belfort in the night main Event. Belfort was brought back into the UFC for this exact fight and will look to do something no one has been even close too, defeat “The Spider”.
• Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva will also fight on the nights card, which could easily be a number one contenders fight. Evans was suppose to fight Rampage Jackson at UFC 107 until Jackson decided to play B.A. Baracus on the big screen. Thiago will look to take out another Jackson’s Submission Fighter after beating Keith Jardine at UFC 102.  Both fighters have only one lose on their record, both coming via Lyoto Machida. This will be a very exciting fight that should not go to the judges.
