Sherdog.com Preview: UFC Fight Night 8

Jan 24, 2007

The latest installment of Spike TV’s UFC Fight Night features a card headlined by undefeated wrestler Rashad Evans (Pictures) taking on Octagon neophyte and fellow grappler Sean Salmon (Pictures) in a light heavyweight battle.

The undercard focuses on the lighter weight divisions. Rich Clementi (Pictures) will meet Ross Pointon in a welterweight clash. Chad Reiner and Josh Burkman (Pictures) also meet at 170. Lightweights Clay Guida (Pictures) and Din Thomas (Pictures) return to the cage fresh off submission victories.

Two middleweight contests aim to entertain as Dean Lister (Pictures) meets Nathan Marquardt (Pictures) and Ed Herman (Pictures) fights Chris Price. A lightweight war that, on paper, looks capable of stealing the show, features Hermes Franca (Pictures) and Spencer Fisher (Pictures).

And the big boys will get a chance to pound each other too, as Jake O’Brien welcomes Heath Herring (Pictures) back to fighting on American soil.
