Roy Nelson vs. Stefan Struve and more UFC Matchmaking News

Struve-nelson_medium

First up, Fighter's Only is reporting that The Ultimate Fighter season ten winner, Roy Nelson (14-4), will fight Stefan Struve (19-3). Outside of the obvious fat guy skinny guy joke this fight appears to be a horrible match-up. Usually when two fighters who share a strong grappling skill-set fight it turns into a rally boring match. Does anyone else remember Dong Hyun Kim vs. Karo Parisyan? In other words, prepare yourselves for some sloppy boxing.

The fight will take place at UFC Fight Night 21, which used to be Fight Night 22 but the UFC renamed Fight Night 21 to "UFC on Versus." So, now UFC Fight Night 22 in North Carolina is Fight Night 21. I didn't lose anyone there, did I?

Speaking of Versus, the UFC added another fight to their debut card. James Irvin (14-5) will return from his long injury riddle lay-off to fight Alessio Sakara (14-7).

Finally, there were two more fight announcements for UFC 111 which appears to be close to completion. Kurt Pellegrino (14-4) will fight Fabricio Camoes (10-4-1) and Jim Miller (16-2) will fight Mark Bocek (8-2). 

Rumored card for UFC 111, Fight NIght 21 and UFC on Versus after the jump.
