Hot off his UFC 106 thrashing of Phil Baroni on Nov. 21, Amir Sadollah looks to keep his momentum going with a quick turnaround at UFC Fight Night 20 against Brad Blackburn (15-9-1) in a 170-pound showdown scheduled for the Patriot Center on Jan. 11, in Fairfax, Virginia, according to the Newark Examiner.
Both fighters have agreed to the contest; however, bout agreements are not yet signed.
The Baroni beatdown was a much-needed win for the Ultimate Fighter 7 champ. After more than a year on the sidelines, Sadollah finally got back into the cage at UFC 101 last September in his welterweight debut. Unfortunately his return was short lived after Johnny Hendricks put him down in the first round.
Another sharp performance when he faces Blackburn could go a long way in further raising his stock in the 170-pound division…
