Fisher/Aurelio Set to Battle at UFC Fight Night 13

UFC Fight Night 13 - tentatively scheduled for April 2 - will now also feature a lightweight showdown between Spencer Fisher and Marcus Aurelio, reports MMA Junkie. Sources have confirmed that both fighters have agreed to the fight, although nothing has been signed. We do know that UFC Fight Night 13 will be the lead-in for “The Ultimate Fighter 7” season premiere and it's rumored to go down in Colorado.

Spencer Fisher is 31 and owns a record of 20-4, with three of those losses happening in the UFC. He lost a decision to Frankie Edgar at UFC 78, but did rock Sam Stout at UFC Fight Night 10 to avenge his earlier loss to "Hands of Stone" (incidentally, a nickname trying so hard to sound tough that it might make our next worst nicknames list). Marcus Aurelio is three years older than "The King Fisher" (get it? The Fisher King!) and had lost three fights in a row before getting back on track - also at UFC 78 - when he TKO'd Luke Caudillo in the first round. He stands at 15-5, but hasn't been too impressive in his two UFC fights.

The upcoming fight should certainly be on the televised card, although nothing is guaranteed in the world of MMA on TV, just ask Roy "Big Country" Nelson.

In case you need a reminder of how UFC Fight Night 13 is shaping up, take a gander of what the card looks like so far:

Comments

kenny over lauzon in the first-stephan over hamill by decision-and fisher over aurelio at some point...(never seen marcus fight, don't know his style) what do you think about that?

How can you call a fight for a fighter you never saw?
