Can this guy not catch a break?
Got screwed out of his fight at UFC 99. Then he was supposed to fight Mike Russow at UFC 102. Now it looks like that has been changed again.
Justin McCully just announced on MMA Junkie Radio that Junior Dos Santos is out of their fight at 102. McCully will now be fighting Russow at the event, leaving Duffee without an opponent again.
Hopefully they'll find a new opponent for him, but it'd be ncie if they found him a fight and he could actually train for that person without these changes.
Sucks if true.
Sure hope he doesn't find out that he's been bumped first from the UG again.
maybe al-turk or hardonk can step in
The one interesting thing was that I dont think he was sure whether they pulled Dos Santos for something else or he was injured.
With the rumors of CroCop resigning and maying fighting at 103...CroCop VS Dos Santos?
By UFC 103... you mean UFC 105 in Manchester UK
They found him a new opp.

"They found him a new opp."
Who? =)
Card - By UFC 103... you mean UFC 105 in Manchester UK
I heard CroCop may be for 103. The whole reason he wanted to sign with Dream (supposedly) was because he wanted to fight sooner and more often and not wait 6 months for a new fight in the UFC.
If they need a headliner/co-headliner for 103, he wants to fight sooner than later, and they ahve indeed resigned him, it would make sense.
Adam Singer - They found him a new opp.

Could you share who?
Heartbroken Lee - Why doesn't Duffee just fight Dos Santos when he's fit?
Because the UFC wants to build both of those guys. I'm also assuming that's why they had no problem with taking Russow out of the Duffee fight.
Al-Turk, McCully = expendable opponents
Dos Santos, Duffee, Russow = guys they want to build.
MMAJunkie is now reporting Duffee will fight Tim Hague

Now that's a good fight.
Thats an excellent matchup.
That's a better UFC debut fight for Duffee than Russow.
