|  Luke Cummo: I'm fighting Luigi Fioravanti at UFC 82
from mmajunkie.com UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com Quote:
The Ultimate Fighter 2” welterweight runner-up Luke Cummo (6-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) will meet UFC veteran Luigi Fioravanti (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) at UFC 82 — an event that takes place March 1 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
Cummo posted the news on his official website early Monday morning, and MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) recently confirmed the bout.
The welterweight fight will likely take place on the undercard of UFC 82, which features a main-event title fight between UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva and PRIDE champ Dan Henderson.
Since dropping a unanimous decision to Joe Stevenson at The Ultimate Fighter 2 Finale in November 2005, Cummo has gone 3-1 in the UFC, which has included recent back-to-back knockout victories over Josh Haynes and Ediberto de Oliveira. Cummo displayed a much-improved stand-up game in the victories, posting knockout victories for the first time in four years. (More information about Cummo’s UFC 82 preparations can be found in Ken Pavia’s “Living with Luke” feature here on MMAjunkie.com.)
Fioravanti, part of the famed American Top Team, recently snapped a two-fight losing streak with a first-round TKO of Frank Camacho (2-1) at a Pacific X-treme Combat event in Guam. Prior to the victory, he suffered losses to two very tough UFC opponents: Jon Fitch (via second-round submission at UFC 68) and Forrest Petz (via unanimous decision to UFC Fight Night 10).
Fioravanti owns UFC victories over Solomon Hutcherson (The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale) and Dave Menne (UFC Fight Night 7).
