Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 14's fast-talking featherweight Hamid Corassani is getting a second lease on his ZUFFA life.
That's because the Swedes over at MMA NYTT bring word that "Akira" will make his Octagon debut at the UFC on FUEL TV 2 event, booked for April 14, 2012, at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
Corassani (9-3) is perhaps best known for his phantom tap against Dustin Neace on the former Spike TV reality show. He was able to advance to the semifinals, but got choked out by eventual finalist Dennis Bermudez inside the first round.
He was not invited back to participate in the Dec. 3, 2011, TUF 14 live finale, but alas, he's getting a second shot when the gang heads overseas.
Opposing him is Jason Young (8-5), who's trying desperately to climb out of an 0-2 hole. "Shotgun" has yet to secure a win inside the Octagon, losing back-to-back decisions to Michihiro Omigawa and Dustin Poirier.
Third time's the charm?
UFC on Fuel TV 2 features native son Alexander Gustafsson in the main event taking on longtime veteran and Brazilian banger Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Other bouts booked for the event include Brian Stann vs. Alessio Sakara and Paulo Thiago vs. Siyar Bahadurzada.

Oh hey,
it’s the guy who taps and then doesn’t tap at the same.
Atleast try and covertly tap like Chael.
Damn amateur.

That's how I knew him
I watched like two episodes this season and I caught that one… He fucking taped…
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
Nothing pisses me off more
than to see someone lie inside of the cage. You tapped, just say you tapped. Even after the fight, atleast be honest and say “ya man I tapped”.
Don’t run around the cage and do your stupid machine gun thing after you got win because Herb Dean channeled his inner Mazzagatti.
That’s almost as bad as Koscheck’s numerous phantom eye pokes and invisable knees to the head.

akira is his nickname as it is lol
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
I would much rather watch Shakira
What the hell am I thinking when I picked the cowboy from New Mexico to beat the other guy from 209. I should have joined the Dark Side and learned more about MMA than spend most of my time watching episodes of New Girl, Nikita and Jersey Shore. Next time, I will be more careful when betting with Phasebook
Check out what I've been drinking lately
never found her really hot
dont get me wrong, shes a very attractive girl, but i never found her as good looking as most others did
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
What about this?

I don't mean to sound like a prude
Because I’m not. But stuff like this makes it REALLY hard to surf mania at work. Can we limit this to fanposts or something?
Go get your dick wet son.
Use your dog if you have to(I’m sure you already have, you little rascal).

I have issued my statement. If Chael wins against Silva, im officially the coolest guy on Mania and have the coolest dvd collection. If he loses.....then I shall leave Mania for good....

Haha careful now Soares
Some of your recent comments have made zero sense. You love missing a letter or two. People in glass houses dude…
Sakuraba beats Silva, Aoki would beat Miller and Vitor Belfort didn't deserve his title shot - In my opinion, the craziest points I've read on this site...
It's because I use my ipad and the keyboard on this thing is not responsive.
Don’t get put on my cunt list honkleton. You’ll be on there with such greats as AriesKJJ and danago. Nobody wants to be in a league with them.

Bracketed with Danago eh?
No thanks, that’s a list I’m looking to avoid. Spell as you wish…

I used to be a minor fan just because I admired the dedication...
Now theres nothing, it is genuine hate

because he has a name and exposure from being on tuf
and is a local in a foreign market

I'm pretty sure the reason he wasn't on the TUF finale card was becuase he was injured.
A pinner ain't never hurt nobody!
Ya, somebody didn't do there homework lol.
This guy acts like he doesn’t have a contract with the UFC.
