Alessio Sakara (14-7, 1 NC) vs. Rousimar Palhares (9-2) will finally happen at the Ultimate Fighter...

Alessio Sakara (14-7, 1 NC) vs. Rousimar Palhares (9-2) will finally happen at the Ultimate Fighter Season 10 finale on December 10th, according to Tatame. The 185-pound bout was originally scheduled for June's UFC 99 in Germany, then moved to UFC 101 in Philadelphia. "Toquinho" sustained a leg injury during training, so Sakara instead fought (and took a unanimous decision over) the now-released Thales Leites.

I hope Palhares

can get the takedown, otherwise we’re in for another stinker.

Agreed, hopefully Joe Silva knows something that we don’t.

Toquinho’s takedowns are 100 times better than Leites’.

Winner by submission (heel hook), 1:15 round 1, HOOOSIMAR PALHARES!

I thought about that about 2 seconds after I hit post. Curse you SB for no edit function!

I think the UFC hates Sakara. I wish they would match him with more strikers those fights seem to be more exciting

The UFC clearly loves Alessio Sakara. Why else would they have kept giving him fights for the past four years?

Speaking of leg injuries...

I think Sakara will be the one hobbling after this one ;)

I badly wanted to see Palhares

on the 104 card :(

Palhares can win this fight convincingly.

Palhares via leg breakage... guaranteed.

See Daniel Acacio.
