Alessio Sakara Vs Rob Yundt at TUF 7 Finale.
Alessio Sakara (12-7) is coming off of a KO loss to Chris Leben and Yundt (6-1) is coming off of his first. The event will also crown the winner of TUF 7's class of Middleweights.



The UFC has added another fight to the card as Chris Wilson and Steve Bruno will now step into the octagon at the August 9th show in Minnesota.The two combatants where originally scheduled to square off at UFC 86:Jackson vs.Griffin in Las Vegas,but now I guess it will give the fighters an extra month to prepare for one more month.


"My 2 Cents"

I guess the UFC needed a welterweight bout to go on the undercard since there is a stacked lightweight card at the moment.
