The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced today that “Ultimate Fighter 7” winner Amir Sadollah has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout against newcomer Nick Catone at this weekend’s UFC 91 event due to a leg infection.
The UFC attempted, but was unable to secure a replacement opponent for Catone, meaning that the fight has been removed from the fight card completely. A welterweight contenders bout between Dustin Hazelett and Tamdan McCrory has been moved up to the televised pay-per-view portion of UFC 91.

Hazelett is very good and he has a bright future ahead of him - He’s only 22 years old and he’s already beat Josh Burkman and Jonathan Goulet, two fighters with much more experience and credentials than him. His ground game is extremely impressive and once he improves his wrestling and striking, he could definitely be a force at 170.
