In a new interview with MMA Junkie, TUF 7 winner Amir Sadollah stated that a move down to 170 pounds is "definitely…in my future," as soon as he recovers from his latest injury. After winning the seventh season of The Ultimate Fighter last June by submitting CB Dollaway via armbar in the finale — which also happened to be Sadollah’s professional MMA debut — he had to pull out of UFC 91 in November due to a leg injury. Sadollah became officially cursed when he had to drop out of last Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 17 show because of a shoulder injury. As he explains:
Unfortunately, he doesn’t know exactly when that will be:
It’s unclear whether Sadollah will take a fight at middleweight before making his planned drop to welterweight. For now, he’s just focused on getting healthy. Poor guy…even Jesse "Mongo" Taylor seems to be doing better than this kid.

commentsThe guy is long forgotten already.
Hopefully third fight lucky for him.
What message does Stockton, California send to its travelers?
not street certified.
What you doing a report for school?
I was going to read the whole thing but I feel asleep....zzzzzzzz
The guy has Dave Terrell syndrome. I'm assuming that he feels as though training with bigger, stronger guys is leading to injuries- hence the drop in weight- but it just makes it look like he has no direction. I predict he will become the least distiguished TUF winner to date (to the relief of Mac Danzig.)
If he never fights again who will give a shit.
That doesn't make any sense.
awesome
What bad luck when you've finally got your foot in the door!
