Danzig v Neer, Catone v Sadollah at UFC Fight Night 17
By: Selina "Dead" Wong Posted On: November 26, 2008 at 12:57amMac Danzig (17-5-1) will face lightweight “Dentist” Josh Neer (24-7-1), and Nick Catone (6-0) will face Amir Sadollah (1-0) in a middleweight match-up at Ultimate Fight Night 17 in Las Vegas 7 February, although the UFC has yet to officially announce the event.
Danzig announced his fight via MySpace and Catone confirmed the bout to iguillotine.
Catone and Sadollah were originally scheduled to fight at UFC 91 in November, but Sadollah was forced to withdraw days before the bout due to a leg infection.
Danzig will look to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to “Carpenter” Clay Guida (24-9) at Fight Night 15 in September.
Neer also lost his last fight at the same event via split decision to Nathan Diaz (10-2).
Catone, who will be making his UFC debut, won his last three fights via first-round TKO. Most recently he defeated Eric Tavares (5-9) in June.
Sadollah last fought in June, submitting “Doberman” CB Dollaway (7-1) with an armbar to become the winner of TUF 7.
