Another bout has been added to the card for the UFC's debut on FX, which now has a date and location according to Yahoo's Steve Cofield: January 20th in Nashville, Tennesee. The match-up will see Robert Peralta welcome Charles Oliveira to the featherweight division, according to Houston-area MMA site, The Cage Door:
Houston based Charles Oliveira, who trains under Gold Team patriarch and Legacy welterweight champion Jorge "Macaco" Patino, has lined up his next UFC opponent. According to sources, Charles will next take on Robert "Problems" Peralta at UFC Fight Night 26 in Nashville, TN on January 20th.
Peralta is fresh off a win over Mackens Semerzier at the UFC on Fox show in Anaheim, but it wasn't without controversy as it was a accidental headbutt that rocked Semerzier and led to Peralta finishing him off. Semerzier is appealing the decision, but it appears Peralta isn't going to wait for a rematch to be scheduled.
Oliveira, once a promising prospect at 155 lbs, now finds himself cutting down in weight after a three-fight winless streak that saw him get submitted by Jim Miller, TKOd by Donald Cerrone, and suffer a no-contest after clocking Nik Lentz with an illegal knee before choking him out.
Robert "Problems" Peralta (16-3)
Win Mackens Semerzier (TKO - UFC on Fox 1
Win Mike Lullo (unam. decision) - UFN 25
Win Hiroyuki Takaya (split decision) - Strikeforce: Daley vs. Diaz
Charles "Do Bronx" Oliveira (14-2)
Loss Donald Cerrone (TKO) - UFC on Versus 5
NC Nik Lentz - UFC on Versus 4
Loss Jim Miller (submission) - UFC 124
The current UFN 26 on FX card:
-Duane Ludwig vs. Josh Neer
-Pat Barry vs. Christian Morecraft
-Robert Peralta vs. Charles Oliveira

here's a recap of the fight:
Neer and Winsniewski stood in a phone booth and did this to each other over and over and over:
And Wisniewski ended up looking like this:

I half expect him to do the old man flop.

Absolutely
The dude was kicking Lentz’s ass when so many people thought he’d get wrestlehumped to a decision.
I respect your opinion even though it's wrong.

True, that was brutal matchmaking for a young guy like him. He’ll stick around and do better at 145.

This is shaping up to be one of the best Fight Nights ever.
I’d almost be willing to drive to Nashville to attend if Nashville weren’t Nashville.

I'm just glad this Fight Night so far isn't filled with TUF rejects
But quality gatekeepers and quality prospects.

As it should be
That’s the worst thing about TUF is so many scrubs getting main card slots because they were on TV. Despite being fucking awful fighters compared to a lot of the guys shoved onto the undercard.

That's one of the benefits of leaving Spike
They put Amir Sadollah or Mac Danzig on every single main card because Spike/UFC thinks their fanbase is primarily from the TUF market.
I respect your opinion even though it's wrong.

Problems is such a good nickname
Should be an amazing fight.
ahh Skeletor I shaved my legs for you tonight,
and if you see my cock I hope you go in fright.
ahh Skeletor you made me do some coke,
ahhh I'm up all night and its no joke.
Pretty funny, actually
Two dudes that scored unfortunate wins (one of which was overturned), facing each other. Who will be the first to knee a downed opponent, or score a headbutt?
Mike Massenzio's left MCL, ACL and PCL

I don't think Oliveira's was accidental though....
So Peralta for the headbutt.

Maybe he'll headbutt his knee and break it?

How long is it before RoryMac can fight again?
Because he’s perfect for this type of card.
I respect your opinion even though it's wrong.
maybe Pat Barry will finally fight with a sense of urgency and go in for a kill... He has to know his job is on the line or close to it.

LOL

This needs to enter the “this time, you guys are going to see the OLD Cro Cop” and “BJ’s in top shape for this fight” pantheon.

Holy shit this is going to be a good card. I’ve been eagerly awaiting UFC’s return to Nashville, the last fight night here was a damn good one as well.

All the main card fights were good except Bader/Marrero
Condit vs. Kampmann is a hidden classic.

O goody glad to see Olivera dropping to 145 size wasn't is problem but he definatly would fit in more down there
wouldn’t mind him fighting Javier Vazquez sometime

Size.....
was definitely a problem against Cerrone. He was at least 15 lbs. smaller and got thrown around like a pre-pubescent boy. Hopefully he doesn’t lose much weight and cuts instead.
he walked around at about 155 when he was fighting at LW
I dont think cutting weight would be a big problem for him.
