Tomasz Drwal vs Rousimar Palhares na UFC 111
Napisano Ponad rok temu
The UFC's second trip to The Garden State has another fight to its lineup.
A middleweight match-up pitting submission ace Rousimar Palhares (10-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) against the heavy-handed Thomasz Drwal (17-2-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) will be finalized shortly for UFC 111, sources close to the situation told MMAjunkie.com ([link widoczny dla zalogowanych Użytkowników]). Both fighters have agreed to the match-up and are expected to turn in bout agreements this week.
UFC 111 is set for March 27 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
The pay-per-view event features two title fights; Georges St-Pierre attempts to defend his welterweight title a fourth time against Dan Hardy, and former heavyweight champion Frank Mir faces Shane Carwin for the interim heavyweight title.
Palhares, a standout in the next generation of Brazilian Top Team fighters, saw action this past December at UFC 107, where he submitted newcomer Lucio Linhares by heel hook. It was his second consecutive victory after a lone octagon blemish against Dan Henderson at UFC 88, a fight that snapped a six-win streak.
Palhares suffered a fractured tibia this past May while in training and was forced to withdraw from a bout with Alessio Sakara at UFC 101. Thales Leites went on to fill the slot.
A second meeting between Palhares and Sakara was scratched a second time this past December when Sakara suffered an undisclosed injury in training and couldn't fight at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale.
Drwal, meanwhile, racked up his third straight UFC victory this past September at UFC 103 when he surprised many by taking fellow striker Drew McFedries down and securing a rear naked choke. The Polish-born fighter had developed a reputation as a banger in slugfests with Thiago Silva, Ivan Serati and Mike Ciesnolevicz.
Drawl splits his fight training between his native Poland — where he runs his own MMA gym — and San Diego.
A source told MMAjunkie.com that the bout is expected to be part of UFC 111's main card, though it's position on the lineup has not been solidified.
The UFC has not been to the northeast since November 2007, when "The Ultimate Fighter" winners Rashad Evans and Michael Bisping headlined a Prudential Center.
A long-anticipated trip to Boston is also in the works for the organization, with an Aug. 29 date targeted for the 19,000-seat TD Garden arena, according to UFC president Dana White. Massachusetts signed into law a measure legalizing the sport of MMA this past November.

Najwazniejsze jest IMHO nie to, z kim Tomek bedzie walczyl, a to, ze prawdopodobnie bedzie to w maincardzie. TO jest wielki krok.

pamietam walke z linharesem, i mysle, ze jesli tomek utrzyma walke w stojce albo bedzie na gorze jesli walka zejdzie do gleby to powinien dac rade, twardziel z niego. jednak jesli sie na plecach znajdzie to moze byc bardzo roznie.

A na jakiej podstawie ta interesująca obserwacja?Zgadzam się z Mradu. Kondycji Tomek za wspaniałej nie ma.
