Default Paul Kelly dropping to lightweight to fight former TUF cast member
Quote:
British fighter Paul Kelly (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) is dropping from welterweight to lightweight and will meet "The Ultimate Fighter 8" cast member Roli Delgado (6-3-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at UFC 99.

Delgado announced the plans in a recent MySpace bulletin.

The fight is slated for the the un-aired preliminary card of UFC 99, which takes place June 13 at Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany, and airs on pay per view.

The UFC recently announced five officials bouts for UFC 99, including a main event between Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva (at a catch-weight if 195 pounds), though the Kelly vs. Delgado fight wasn't one of them.

Kelly will compete in his fourth straight European UFC card. The Wolfslair Academy fighter scored a unanimous decision victory over Paul Taylor in his octagon debut at UFC 80, but his seven-fight win streak came to an end in his following bout when he was submitted by Marcus Davis at UFC 89. Most recently, though, Kelly scored a unanimous-decision victory over Troy Mandaloniz at UFC 95.

Meanwhile, Delgado, a cast member from "TUF8," was knocked out of the competition in the show's elimination round, but he earned a second life as a replacement for injured Brian McLaughlin. Delgado, though, suffered a split-decision loss to eventual semifinalist Junie Browning in the preliminary round. Despite the loss, he made his official UFC debut at the show's live finale, where he submitted fellow cast member John Polakowski with a second-round guillotine choke. Delgado is now 5-0-1 in his past six fights, and his past four victories have all come via stoppage.

If I remember correctly, Roli was the one that Frank Mir called out on his Black Belt and then took Junie to a decision? Yeah, this fight isn't going to last very long... Paul Kelly by KO in under 2 minutes.

I know Roli's got BJJ skills, but he had every opportunity to finish Junie in their TUF fight, and instead just pawed away at him like a 14-year-old girl in a slap fight.

Kelly by destruction.

I'd love to give Delgado a chance, but Kelly is going to run right through him.
