UFC 104: Kyle Kingsbury vs Razak Al-Hassan in the works for October 24

Former Ultimate Fighter season eight contestant Kyle Kingsbury (7-2) will return to action at UFC 104 when he takes on Razak Al-Hassan (6-1) from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on October 24 according to MMAWeekly.
The likable but unsuccessful Kingsbury made his debut on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) in 2008 and was quickly bounced from the competition after suffering a submission loss to eventual winner Ryan Bader in episode two.
After Karn Girgoryan was injured, "Kingsbu" was reinserted into the tournament but was submitted by Krzysztof Soszynski in the quarterfinals. He joined some of his fellow cast mates in the TUF Finale on December 13 but lost to Tom Lawlor via unanimous decision.
Al-Hassan has been on the sidelines since suffering the first loss of his career at UFC Fight Night 16: "Fight for the Troops" last December. "Razor" suffered a grisly arm injury after refusing to tap to an armbar secured by opponent Steve Cantwell.
"Robot" tweaked the arm to the point of kung-fu grip, forcing an end to the bout via technical submission. Now Al-Hassan has the opportunity to erase that memory on October 24 against a former TUF-guy.
UFC 104 will feature a light heavyweight title fight between newly-minted champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida in his first title defense against 2005 Pride FC Middleweight Grand Prix winner Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.

For REAL! Grisly is the understatement of the year the way Razak’s arm snapped back…

It couldn’t have looked any worse, but you are right. It ended up dislocating instead of breaking in half, which is what I thought happened when I first saw it. Pretty nasty.

The look on his face as Cantwell popped the arm was the best….utter horror but he should have tapped.

Absolutely! And Kyle Kinsbury may be one of the worst fighters to fight on a ppv undercard

Probably same reason Dave Kaplan got fights after the show….a little UFC generosity.
