Spike TV will be showcasing some of the rising stars in the UFC with the first ever “UFC Fight Night” from Tampa, Fl, with a main event featuring a lightweight battle between division standouts Joe Lauzon and Hermes Franca. Spike TV’s live “UFC Fight Night” will emanate from the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Fl. on Saturday, February 7 from 9:00 – 11:00 PM, ET/PT. Also appearing on the fight card will be Mac Danzig (“The Ultimate Fighter 6” champion), Amir Sadollah (“The Ultimate Fighter 7” champion), and undefeated heavyweight Cain Velasquez.

On the card, in middleweight action, Amir Sadollah (2-0) will enter the Octagon for the first time since winning “The Ultimate Fighter” as he battles UFC newcomer Nick Catone.

Sadollah made the mixed martial arts world take notice as he steamrolled through the competition en route to winning “The Ultimate Fighter 7” finale against CB Dolloway via armbar this past June. Since then, the 28-year old Sadollah has given up his surgical technician’s job in Richmond, VA and moved to Las Vegas to train full-time with Xtreme Couture. Sadollah aims to keep his perfect record intact against Brick, New Jersey’s undefeated Catone (6-0), who is making his UFC debut.
