The injury of Ricardo “Cachorrão” Almeida, which made it impossible for the black belt to face Jon fitch at UFC-106, it ended up triggering changes in opponents for two other Brazilians.
The duel between the Brazilians Thiago Pitbull e Paulo thiago scheduled for UFC-107 was postponed by Ultimete, with the aim of promoting the rematch between Thiago Pitbull and Jon Fitch at the same event, which will be held on December 12th, in Las Vegas.
Businessman Wallid Ismail, who takes care of the Brasilia native's career Paulo thiago, confirmed the cancellation of the fight against Pitbull to journalist Gustavo Noblat:
“It won’t happen again (fight between Thiago Pitbull e Paulo thiago). I still don't know the reason. But Paulo will be prepared for whoever the UFC wants to put in front of him,” said Wallid.
Jon Fitch announced via Twitter that a long-awaited fight was close to being announced by the UFC:
“I have a bigger one to do. I can't say who against yet, but many of you have been waiting for this fight for a long time”, wrote the fighter.
In the first fight between Fitch and Pitbull, the American came out on top, winning by technical knockout at UFC Fight Night 5, which took place in June 2006
