The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 middleweight finalist, Ed Herman (14-6), will look win his fourth fight in five attempts when he meets up with Alan Belcher (12-5), at UFC Fight Night 15 on Wednesday, September 17, according to a recent WICombatSports.com message board post from Duke Roufus.
No location or venue was mentioned for the middleweight scrap at this time.
"Short Fuse" was on the receiving end of a Demian Maia choke at UFC 83: "Serra vs. St. Pierre 2" last month, rendering him unconscious on the Octagon canvas -- something he more than likely took a little pride in after tapping out to Jason MacDonald in October 2006. Between the two losses he won three straight fights in impressive fashion.
Belcher has won two of his last three fights, but his last time out at UFC 83 newcomer Jason Day surprised him and those watching with a technical knockout win. He has an average record (3-3) inside the Octagon and will more than likely have to demonstrate that he belongs in the organization with a win over Herman.
This should be a nice battle because bother fighters usually -- win or lose -- don't go the distance in their fights.
Stay tuned for more updates and fight announcements regarding UFC Fight Night 15, which will reportedly serve as the lead-in to the season premier of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 with coaches Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir.
