UFC Fight Night 19: CB Dollaway vs Jay Silva booked with Dan Miller hurt

Dan Miller made a name for himself in the UFC by stepping up to fight on short notice. Now the former IFL standout will get a chance to see what the sidelines feel like after an untimely infection has forced him out of his fight against CB Dollaway on Sept. 16.
MMAmadness is reporting that Octagon newcomer Jay Silva has agreed to try and cage "The Doberman" on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 19 next week.
The dangerous Silva is perfect through five fights. After submitting Mark DaPolito in his mixed martial arts debut at Ring of Combat last year, Silva went on an absolute tear, ending his next four contests by way of (T)KO.
While Miller was no pushover, Silva should be considered a very dangerous replacement -- just ask Reggie Orr, who was the victim of a Silva flying knee at "Call to Arms" back in May.
Dollaway is looking to rebound from a lightning fast submission loss to TUF 8 contestant Tom Lawlor at UFC 100 on July 11. The defeat snapped a two fight win streak — he finished Mike Massenzio via first round technical knockout at UFC 92 and submitted Jesse "Yellow Submarine" Taylor at UFC Fight Night 14 with a rare "Peruvian necktie."
The state champion wrestler out of Ohio was unsuccessful in his bid to win it all at the TUF 7 Finale on in June 2008, losing to eventual tournament winner Amir Sadollah via first round submission (armbar).
"Diaz vs. Guillard" will serve as the lead-in to the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) and will feature a main event between hungry lightweight up-and-comers and former TUF grads Nate Diaz and Melvin "The Young Assassin" Guillard.
In addition, Roger "El Matador" Huerta will throwdown for perhaps the last time inside the Octagon as he tries to leave on a high note against the stifling super-wrestler Gray "The Bully" Maynard.

Roy, was asking myself the exact same thing. Are they thinking? He’s boring, only wrestles, no charisma & looks like a cat who would of spent highschool giving wedgies to nerds… yawn

X2 – he should be on Strikeforce or something else but UFC??? He must swallow – that is the only reason why Dana still has him around.

OD-
What do you think about the Rampage news?

Yea had to back track; so it’s official I see. Sucks cause I really like his fights. Well, like I said before, getting pretty hard to root for the guy. The Page wagon is getting annoying/boring lately. I’ll probably root for him against Evans; but it’s getting harder to be a Page fan now a days.

OD, I am going to copy you…
First of all, I am going to boycott the upcoming TUF season.
Secondly, every time a Page thread comes up …
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
RABBLE!
:)

Lol, fine with me, don’t see where you draw a comparison there but oooooook.

I don’t doubt a lot of people are going to fall of the Page wagon, if they haven’t already since the truck chase. Now he’s delaying a highly anticipated fight; I can’t blame u for boycotting Page. On the other hand, I don’t think it’s a double standard that I boo Fedor and root for Page. So if thats what you’re getting at, then I don’t agree with the comparison.

no fedor is a much better fighter, and even the haters will admitt that rampage ducks more than fedor ever could.

I’m sorry I don’t get what that has to do with anything; so I have a double standard then is what you’re saying??? Lol, I’ll just leave it at this; Rampage, who he is, where he’s at in his career, is completely different from where Fedor is and who he is in his career. Everyone of you acts like this is so black and white. A win is a win, a loss is a loss, no grey area involved it’s all straight forward. No circumstances/situation factored into your equation. “Please don’t confuse me with facts my mind is made up.”
I’m sorry if I don’t see the comparison between the two, one is stalling but will inevitably have to fight the best regardless; one isn’t even stepping up to the plate and is still somehow considered the best. Maybe you’ve got the double standard? As in, if you’re going to boo Page, maybe you should be booing Fedor as well? Since you wanna go about the same BS with me..

never heard of silva but judging by that write up he seems exciting but I will have to wait and see

I hate C.B. Hope he gets KTFO. Don’t care who does it as long as it happens.

CBs a real cool dude, sucks that none of you guys know him so you just end up being jealous and hating on him
by AzCombat on Sep 8, 2009 1:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i am sure he is a cool guy, tell him to win and maybe we would be jealous.
by roy on Sep 8, 2009 1:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It’s not jealousy.
Jas can talk about himself in the 3rd person too. Just like the CB.
But it makes the Jas look like a self-absorbed douchebag so he doesn’t. It’s a shame some people who actually know the CB didn’t tell him that before he went on TV.
Oh, and he acted like a real prick despite losing to the same guy the same way twice in a span of 3 months.
