THOMAS-FISHER TO LEAD SEPT. 20 UFC FIGHT NIGHT
According to an American Top Team rep, lightweight Din Thomas (23-6) has verbally agreed to face Miletich Elite counterpart Spencer Fisher at the next UFC Fight Night on Sept. 20 at the Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fisher (20-3) waged a victorious knockdown, dragged-out war with Canadian Sam Stout at June 12’s UFC Fight Night main event in Florida. Since starring on “The Ultimate Fighter 4 – The Comeback” on Spike TV, the submissions savvy Thomas is three-for-three in Octagon play, taking out Rich Clementi, Clay Guida, and Jeremy Stephens.
The Thursday night offering will serve as a lead-in for the debut of “The Ultimate Fighter 6” reality TV series.
