Sadollah vs. Catone set for February 7th

After being scratched from the undercard of "UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar," a bout between "The Ultimate Fighter 7" winner Amir Sadollah (1-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and UFC newcomer Nick Catone (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been rescheduled for February.

Catone confirmed the bout for the as-yet-unannounced UFC Fight Night 17 in a video interview with iguillotine.com.

"I was training about three months for the fight very hard and was definitely disappointed about not getting in there and making my debut," Catone told iguillotine.com. "But it looks like Feb 7, we're going to get it on at the Ultimate Fight Night 17."

The bout, originally scheduled for Nov. 15, was scrapped just four days prior to the pay-per-view event when Sadollah was hospitalized due to a leg infection.

The full details of the injury were not released, Sadollah discussed his concerns about the infection in a post on his official blog in the days leading up to the eventual cancellation.

"It started on Friday with a small mark on my leg," Sadollah stated. "I immediately went to the doctor, and he gave me medication and told me if it got worse to go to the hospital. Well, it got worse, and on Sunday I went in and have been here ever since. I am hoping they will discharge me by Thursday."

The February bout will be just Sadollah's second as a professional, and his first since defeating C.B. Dolloway in June in the finals of the seventh season of "The Ultimate Fighter."

Catone, a Ring of Combat and Cage Fury Fighting Championships veteran, is undefeated in first five professional contests. Three of his wins have come via TKO.

According to Catone, bout agreements have been signed and UFC Fight Night 17 will take place at The Palms in Las Vegas.
