Brazilian jiu-jitsu players and Octagon veterans, Dean Lister (10-5) and Jeremy Horn (79-17-5), will meet up in a middleweight tilt at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 7 Finale at The Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 21, according to UFC.com.
Lister has won three of his last four bouts, including a recent unanimous decision win over Jordan Radev at UFC 79: “Nemesis” back in December 2007. The “Boogeyman” only competed one other time last year, losing to Nate Marquardt at UFC Fight Night 8 in January.
He spent most of 2007 recovering from a surgery to repair a badly torn biceps muscle.
Horn didn’t have much luck with Marquardt either, getting beat up and nearly decapitated in a standing guillotine choke to end the fight in the second round at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” in February 2007. It was his first time back in the Octagon since tapping top WEC middleweight contender, Chael Sonnen, with an armabr at UFC 60: “Hughes vs. Gracie” in 2006.
“Gumby” actually took the fight with Marquardt on short notice because of an injury to Thales Leites. He’s lost three of his last four fights, which means that this will be an important fight for one of the sport’s most recognized pioneers.

Hvywt.: Frank Mir (10-3) vs. Brock Lesnar (1-0)

At this point the co feature of the evening — Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar — has got me incredibly intrigued. There’s just no telling what is going to happen during that fight — Lesnar is raw and powerful and Mir is experienced and inconsistent.

“Gumby” is back!
Veteran Jeremy Horn (79-16-5) will fill-in for the injured Thales Leites against Nate Marquardt (25-7-2) at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” on February 2 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to UFC.com.
Here’s the full snip:
“Returning to the Octagon for the first time since back to back wins over Trevor Prangley and Chael Sonnen in 2005-2006 , respected middleweight contender Jeremy Horn will replace injured Thales Leites and face Nate Marquardt on February 2nd’s UFC 81 card in Las Vegas.”
At just 32 years old, Horn is already legend in the sport of mixed martial arts. He has competed off and on inside the Octagon since 1998. His last appearance was in May 2006, submitting Chael Sonnen via armbar at UFC 60: “Hughes vs. Gracie.”
The last two years Horn has taken a much deserved break from competition, focusing primarily on training fighters. However, he did take three fights during that time and lost two of them (Matt Lindland and Jorge Santiago).
Marquardt is looking to rebound from his loss to UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva, at UFC 73: “Stacked” back in July 2007. He was set to face Thales Leites (again), but the Brazilian sustained a broken hand while training for the bout and was forced to withdraw.
Let’s hope the condensed pre-fight training schedule does not affect Horn and we see a great fight on SuperBowl weekend.

Long-time member of Miletich Fighting Systems (MFS), Matt Hughes, is leaving the prolific fight camp on good terms to open his own gym in Granite City, Ill., according to FightNetwork.com.
The “Hughes Intensive Training (H.I.T.) Squad” will be located less than a one-hour drive from Hughes’ Hillsboro farm — the trip to MFS in Iowa takes considerably longer.
Here’s a snip from MFS Founder, Pat Miletich:
“Matt’s been with me for almost a decade. We’ve had a lot of great years together. This is a natural progression for guys to eventually go out on their own…. I’m sure he’s had a lot of offers to do something like this and he got one close to home. I know it’s been tough on him driving up to Iowa all these years, spending the week up here and going home on weekends year after year.”
Hughes is one of two coaches on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 6, which debuts on the Spike television network at 11 p.m. on September 19. He will challenge UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Serra for the 170-pound title at UFC 79 on December 29.
For TUF 6 Hughes enlisted the services of Robbie Lawler, Matt Pena and Rob Fiore to be his assistants. Now it appears the experience together will last longer than the six weeks of taping the reality series — the four will all be a part of the H.I.T. Squad.
According to the report, Hughes will begin to train at the new facility on the first of October and then open the “H.I.T. Squad” to the general public at the very beginning of 2008.
Veterans Jeremy Horn and Lawler, as well as Corey Hill and Jacob Hey, are the fighters who will help Hughes prepare for “The Terror.”
