UFN 13 Keeps Getting Better

“The Ultimate Fighter 6” cast members George Sotiropoulos (8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Roman Mitichyan (5-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will meet April 2 at UFC Fight Night 13.

Sotiropoulos, a semifinalist on the show, earned victories Jared Rollins and Richie Hightower before he was stopped by eventual show runner-up Tommy Speer in the show’s semifinals. The 30-year-old then returned at the show’s live finale and defeated Billy Miles with a first-round submission. The Australian is now training with UFC welterweight champ Matt Serra, who served as his coach on “The Ultimate Fighter."

Mitichyan was also a cast member on the show, though his stint would be a short one. The Armenia showed up in Las Vegas with a pre-existing elbow injury. After an X-ray revealed that it was a broken bone, he was sent home and replaced by John Koppenhaver. However, the UFC invited him to compete at the show’s live finale, where he scored a stunning, 23-second submission (via achilles lock) of Dorian Price.

Mitichyan also showed great immaturity by trashing a Doctor's office when we was told the news he wouldn't be able to compete. Some people thought it was just Mitichyan showing emotion that he couldn't fight but it was a complete lack of class on his part. He called out the Doctor saying he didn't know what he was talking about and he was surprised he got a medical license.

How he wasn't punished for his behavior is beyond me. There's a true double standard that the UFC follows but it has no consistency.

Either way, this is a fight I would like to see. The card now has 10 fights yet the program is only 2 hours long. I'm not the genius that people think Dana White is but there's 6 great fights that we're never gonna get to see. To me, that's plain stupid.
