By: Chad Edward Posted On: April 7, 2008 at 12:01pmUFC.com has added lightweights Terry Etim (10-1) of Liverpool and Team Oyama’s “The Saint” Robert Emerson (7-6) to their UFC 84 schedule to be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas 24 May.
Etim lost his last fight by unanimous decision to Gleison Tibau (15-5), the only “L” on his record.
Vale Tudo fighter Emerson enters the fight with five straight wins and a No Contest. His last fight ended in a split decision over “K-Taro” Keita Nakamura (14-3-2).
Also announced, “The Hungarian Nightmare” Christian Wellisch (8-3) will welcome undefeated heavyweight Shane Carwin (8-0) to the Octagon.
Wellisch, a recent law school graduate, has been publicly frustrated with what will be a eight-month layoff.
Last September he submitted Scott Junk (6-2) in a heel hook at UFC 76.
Carwin is a ballyhooed wrestler entering the Octagon off a TKO over “The Tank” Sherman Pedergarst (10-8).
