Amir Sadollah likely to face Nick Catone at UFC 91
In his first fight since scoring a series of upsets to win "The Ultimate Fighter 7," Amir Sadollah (1-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is expected to fight UFC newcomer Nick Catone (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC 91.
The fight was recently reported by our friends at fiveouncesofpain.com, which stated that bout agreements could be signed this week.
UFC 91 takes place Nov. 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Last month Sahollah mentioned his Nov. 15 fight date at a recent Combat Sports Challenge event, though his opponent wasn’t initially known.
On "TUF" the 28-year-old Sadollah defeated former UFC fighter Steve Byrnes (6-1) in a newly created elimination round, Gerald Harris (8-2) in the opening round, Matt Brown (9-6) in the quarterfinals, C.B. Dollaway (7-1) in the semifinals, and after fellow finalist Jesse Taylor was kicked off the show, Sadollah again defeated Dollaway at the show’s live finale back in June.
All five victories came via knockout or submission.
He’ll now meet Catone, a veteran of the Ring of Combat organization who’s posted first-round stoppage victories in his past four fights. The ROC USKBA middleweight champion currently trains under Ricardo Almeida in New Jersey.
