Ryo Chonan vs. Roan Carneiro at UFC 88

Susumu08_medium

The rematch between former DEEP champ and PRIDE fighter Ryo "The Shark" Chonan and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu wizard Roan "Jucão" Carneiro originally scheduled for last month's UFC 85 card will now take place at September's UFC 88 in Atlanta, GA, Tatame.com reports. Chonan was forced off the June card due to a rib injury, leaving Carneiro to face UFC newcomer Kevin Burns, who stunned the highly-favored black belt with a second round triangle choke submission.

The first fight between Chonan and Carneiro took place at DEEP's 18th Impact card in 2005 and ended in a controversial third round stoppage when Carneiro suffered a cut on his right eyelid due to a flying knee. That match came less than two months after Chonan's shocking flying heel hook submission of Anderson Silva at PRIDE Shockwave 2004. However since signing with the UFC nearly a year ago, Chonan has fought only once, dropping a lackluster unanimous decision to Karo Parisyan at UFC 78 last November.

In other UFC 88 news, the manager of Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares has confirmed to Tatame that the match between Palhares and former PRIDE welterweight and middleweight champ Dan Henderson will take place on the card, despite Henderson denying the bout last week.

I thought the same thing

While “the shark” is indeed one of Chonan’s many nicknames, I vastly prefer “the Piranha” (if only to differentiate him from the Muscleshark Sean Sherk) and that seems to have a higher Google ranking.
