Ortiz, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” makes his return to the Octagon in a continuation of a war with Mezger and his Lion’s Den teammates. Mezger (30-13-2) from Houston, TX began this rivalry with a win over Ortiz in his UFC debut at UFC 13. Mezger caught the inexperienced rookie with a guillotine choke. The two would meet again at UFC 19 with a different outcome. Ortiz (11-4-0) from Huntington Beach, CA took revenge on Mezger defeating him by TKO (strikes). Ortiz added insult to injury following the bout wearing a Lions Den type T-shirt that poked fun at Mezger and the Lions Den.
The war continues and the battle lines are drawn for the Welterweight Championship bout. Former champion Hughes will be looking to reestablish his dominance in the welterweight division and regain his championship belt. UFC rising star Georges St. Pierre wants to prove he belongs among the elite and start his reign as the champ. Hughes (37-4-0) from Hillsboro, IL proved he was ready for another title shot defeating Renato Verissimo by unanimous decision at UFC 48. St Pierre (7-0-0) from Montreal, Canada, who specializes in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, surprised everyone at UFC 48 showing his stand up skills stopping Jay Hieron by TKO (strikes) 1:45 into round one.
The remainder of the card will be announced as the bouts become official.

Baroni Injured; Out Of UFC 50; Salaverry Cuts To Middleweight To Face Prangley
Las Vegas, Nevada -- Phil Baroni is reported to be injured and out of “UFC 50: The War Of ’04” scheduled for October 22 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Ivan Salaverry, who originally replaced a proposed Marvin Eastman against Canadian Patrick Cote in a light heavyweight fight is expected to make the cut to middleweight and replace Baroni against Trevor Prangley.
Baroni seems to be plagued by physical injuries lately. It is suggested the New York Badass has a torn MCL. Now 3-4 in the UFC, Baroni replaced an injured Robbie Lawler at “UFC 49: Unfinished Business,” only to step down himself due to an injury.
Salaverry made his UFC debut at “UFC 37: High Impact” where he defeated Andrei Semenov of the Red Devil Fight Team by TKO in the third round. The well-rounded AMC Pankration fighter has been active in Japan this past year.
Prangley made his UFC debut at “UFC 48: Payback” where he defeated veteran Curtis Stout by submission in the second round. The Lion’s Den fighter defeated Semenov earlier this year in the inaugural Euphoria MFC in Atlantic City.
A replacement for Cote is unconfirmed at this time.

Buentello Out of UFC 50
By Joe Hall
Paul Buentello had waited seven years for a shot in the UFC. His anticipated debut was scheduled for October 22 at UFC 50, but now the Texas native will have to wait a little longer.
The heavyweight injured his right hand during training and will not be able to fight Tra Telligman in Atlantic City. While sparring with AKA teammate Bobby Southworth a couple weeks ago, Buentello threw a body shot that connected with Southworth's elbow. Buentello's fist made impact just between his ring finger and his pinky, resulting in a slight shock of pain. He finished out the round, not thinking much about it.
In the next round, though, a sharp stinging sensation accompanied each right hand that he landed. He took a day off before resuming training, but the hand began to swell. More time was taken to allow the swelling to subside, but it started again as soon as he began a light session on the mitts.
Although X-rays didn't reveal a fracture, Buentello was informed that he had bruised the tendons in his hand. He gave it one last shot in the gym, and the swelling quickly returned. He can grab with the hand, but he struggles to pull even car doors open. The doctor told him he needed to rest the hand for three to four weeks, meaning no punching, no grabbing, no lifting weights and no UFC.
Buentello had fractured his third metacarpal on the same hand in a fight last December. He figures his long layoff from sparring due to that injury may have rendered the hand somewhat weak leading into his intensified August training sessions.
"It just sucks," says Buentello, who had been doing cardio while waiting for the swelling to go down. "I wanted to prove to everybody that I belonged in there a long time ago."
Despite the injury, he's certain he'll make his debut soon. "From what it sounds like, it won't be too long," he says. "The UFC said my contract is still standing."
An official replacement to take on Telligman has not yet been named, though John Marsh is a rumored possibility.

Z Jakubkiem, który walczył 3 raz w ciągu 3 tygodni i miał kontuzjowany bark, dodam. A wygrał właśnie przez kimurę z półgardy na kontuzjowaną łapę. No ale wygrał...Przeciwnikiem Marvina Estmana będzie Travis Lutter z Lion's Den. Wygrał on w kwietniu z Grzegorzem Jakubowskim.
