Gabriel Gonzaga is back at the UFC 121 in California 07/14/2010 The UFC 121 announcements are coming fast and furious, and a heavyweight matchup is the latest addition to the card. Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga (11-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and "The Ultimate Fighter 10" blogger Brendan Schaub (6-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) have agreed to meet at the Oct. 23 event. Featuring a heavyweight title clash between champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Cain Velasquez, UFC 121 takes place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., and airs live on pay-per-view. The Brazilian heavyweight, who will always be remembered for the best knockout of the MMA history with his head-kick knockout of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. A threat with his submission game as well as a strong striker, "Napao's" remaining career losse came in an August 2007 bid for the UFC title against Randy Couture and in a January 2008 fight with Fabricio Werdum, who recently defeated Fedor Emelianenko. Meanwhile, Schaub returns to action for the third time in 2010 and a little more than three months removed from a 67-second destruction of Chris Tuchscherer. Schaub also defeated Chase Gormley in March for his second-consecutive win following a disappointing knockout loss to Roy Nelson in the finals of "The Ultimate Fighter 10" tournament. An explosive competitor who fights out of Colorado's Grudge Training Center, "The Hybrid" has never fought beyond the first round and has averaged just 58 seconds of cage time in each of his six career wins.

Alexandre "Vaca" Moreno(11-2) win in New Jersey and fight for title 05/06/2010 Last Friday May 14th in New Jersey, USA, Urban Conflict Championship promotion, an event that has featured such notable fighters as UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar in the past, held its UCC Strikedown 2 show. One of the better bouts of the night featured Brazil’s Alexandre “Vaca” Moreno, who got the tapout over Carlos Brooks in the first round. “We studied my opponent, knowing he was a tough guy with three MMA fights, an American kick boxing champion with more than 30 wins, and he comes from a traditional MMA school. He had the whole crowd on his side, but I was really well prepared and had my muay thai up to speed from training with our coach Kru Iberê Reis. I traded strikes some standing and waited for the right moment to take him down and use our Jiu-Jitsu to end the fight. At the end of the event, I even got the submission of the night prize!” says Alexandre, now with a record of 11 wins and 2 losses. In the main event, Dante Rivera, a Ricardo “Cachorrão” Almeida student, also did well to finish Ryan Contaldi in the second round, leading the promoter to announce that he and Vaca would dispute the welterweight divisional title in October. “It was a perfect night for Team Link,” remarks Marco Alvan, team leader. “Vaca got the submission and walked off without a scratch, and now returns to Ludlow with us to join Gabriel Napão and Fabinho “Jungle Boy” to help Ricardo Funch, who fights in Canada in June. After that, Vaca will take a week off for vacation and then we plan to help him train for his title bout in October.” For more information log onto http://www.uccfights.com
