Fitch gets another new opponent…
According to MMAJunkie.com, Jon Fitch (19-3 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and Mike Pierce (10-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) have verbally agreed to meet at UFC 107. The bout should be finalized soon. Fitch was originally expected to face Ricardo Almeida (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) at UFC 106 in November, but Almeida pulled out due to an injury. Fitch was then moved to UFC 107 to face Thiago Alves, who then had to pull out of that fight, due to injury. Here is the updated UFC 107 card, which takes place on December 12th from Memphis, Tennessee:
MAIN CARD
- Champ B.J. Penn vs. Diego Sanchez (for lightweight title)
- Cheick Kongo vs. Frank Mir
- Jon Fitch vs. Mike Pierce*
- Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida
- Paul Buentello vs. Todd Duffee
PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired)
- Alan Belcher vs. Wilson Gouveia
- Shane Nelson vs. Matt Wiman
- Ricardo Funch vs. Johny Hendricks
- Lucio Linhares vs. Rousimar Palhares
- Edgar Garcia vs. DaMarques Johnson
- Kevin Burns vs. T.J. Grant
This is gonna be a battle of the "Men Who Have a Win Over Brock Larson"
Next up we need the winner to face off against Carlos Condit.

I'd move the Fitch/Pierce fight down to the prelim (and possibly show it on their Spike TV Freelim show), and move the Palhares/Linhares fight to the main card.

if fitch beats pierce though they would be hard pressed to deny him a title shot soon; 4-0 after losing to GSP is impressive

Florian vs Guida has Fight of the Year written all over it.
