UFC 110: Chris Lytle vs Brian Foster slated for Feb. 21 with 'Stun Gun' Kim hurt

Lytle-foster_medium
Chris Lytle (27-17-5) is still on schedule to compete "down under" thanks to Brian Foster (13-4), who steps in to replace the injured Dong Hyun Kim on the upcoming UFC 110 fight card booked for the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Feb. 21, according to a recent MySpace post from Foster.

"Lights Out" was last seen taking a unanimous decision win over Kevin Burns at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 9 Finale last June, in what was an exciting showdown that saw Lytle earn his third "Fight of the Night" bonus in as many attempts.

He was quickly penciled in to do battle with former WEC kingpin Carlos Condit at UFC Fight Night 19 back in September; however, Lytle's knee imploded during training and forced him to withdraw from the Spike TV event.

The Ultimate Fighter 4 runner-up will be looking to notch his fourth straight win this February against the very dangerous Foster -- who like Lytle has been in his fair share of entertaining bouts throughout his short but memorable UFC tenure.

Star-divide

The HIT Squad standout dropped a submission loss to Rick Story in his Octagon debut at UFC 103: "Franklin vs. Belfort" back on September 19 -- but not before claiming his half of the "Fight of the Night" bonus for lighting it up inside the cage.

Instead of moping around the gym about coming up short, Foster returned to action just two months later, pounding out the venerable Brock Larson en route to a second round stoppage.

A similar performance against Lytle could go a long way in establishing him as a force to be reckoned with at 170-pounds.

UFC 110 pits Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez in a bout that could determine the next heavyweight number one contender. In the co-main event, Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva will try to put TUF grad Michael Bisping down for "The Count."

Are you kidding me?

Lytle at best is a B level fighter. All he does is throw bombs! Don’’t get me wrong his fights are usually pretty entertaining, and that is thanks to Joe Silva and good match making. But if you ever put Lytle up against a quality guy he would go down in a heap.

I wouldn't say he is good, but definatly entertaining.

I never said he wasn’t entertaining, but if you put him against a smart high level fighter they wouldn’t sit and trade bombs with him. Daley and Lytle would be exciting because they both love to bang, and bang hard.

always dangerous to fight

He puts a good show on and thats why he is still around. Not all about the wins. His fight with Lawler was great.

Baroni vs Lytle would probably be entertaining
