MMA Combat - UFC 137 Main-Card Adds Jacoby vs. Tavares
With news breaking that UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled UFC 137 main-event bout against #1 contender Carlos Condit (details HERE), the vacant spot created on the evening's main-card will go to TUF Season 11 participant Brad Tavares and undefeated college football convert, Dustin Jacoby.
Tavares (7-1-0) began his professional career with a seven fight win-streak that saw the Hawaiian pick up six stoppages along the way. The 23-year old Xtreme Couture representative suffered his first defeat at UFC 132 - Cruz vs. Faber II when he dropped a unanimous decision to wrestling ace, Aaron Simpson.
Jacoby (6-0-0) began his mixed martial arts career less than twelve months ago, but has racked up six consecutive wins since that time with five [T]KOs; he most recently appeared September 4, at Annihilation Productions - Riverfists 2011 where he TKO'd Billy Horne at just thirty-seven seconds of round 1.
UFC 137 will be headlined by two-time UFC champion B.J. Penn and former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz in a pivotal contender bout at 170lbs. The Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada will play host to the event which is scheduled for October 29, 2011.
