H.I.T. Squad product Matt Veach will fill-in for the injured Kurt Pellegrino and take on Frank Edgar at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 Finale from the “The Pearl” at The Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Dec. 5.

MMAmania.com learned about the replacement earlier this afternoon shortly after news broke that “Batman” suffered a back injury during training.

More on this breaking news shortly.

Most street predators would feel confident in rolling Placido Domingo over: In addition to being wealthy, he’s not very ambulatory. But some UK thieves picked the wrong opera singer to accost on Oct. 12. That’s when, according to the Kilburn Times, singer Jake Furey defended himself as only a fighter-slash-singer could: By punching and screaming at them.

“One of [them] hit me in the face but it was nothing so I jumped back into the road to give myself more room and got my fists up ready,” Furey…
