The Ultimate Fighting Championship today has brought in yet another IFL fighter into the fold by signing highly touted prospect Mike Massenzio (10-2) to a four fight deal and will make his Octagon debut against heavy hitting Drew McFedries (7-3) September 17th at Ultimate Fight Night 15 in Omaha, Nebraska. Massenzio who was previously on a 9 fight winning streak was submitted by Danillo Villefort who has also signed on with the other Zuffa based organization (WEC) at the IFL's last show back in May at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. Massenzio also joins brothers Dan and Jim Miller to have recently signed on with the UFC with Dan Miller also making his debut at UFN 15 against Rob Kimmons.
