Spencer Fisher Will Take On Shannon Gugerty at UFC 90, Chicago Il, October 25, 2008

Spencer Fisher (21-4) will take on Shannon Gugerty (11-2) - not Melvin Guillard as originally planned  at UFC 90: Silva vs. Cote at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Ill., on October 25, according to the CEO of KO Dynasty Sports Mgt., Mickey Dubberly.

No reason is known at this time for the opponent switch, but it appears on the surface to be a much safer fight for The King.

Then again & who really knows in this sport.

Fisher is fresh off a unanimous decision win over Jeremy Stephens at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 7 Finale in June. The Miletich Fighting Systems veteran has won two of his last four bouts, including a rematch against Sam Stout at UFC Fight Night 10 more than one year ago.

He is a former 155-pound contender. And hell need to put together back-to-back wins to prove that he still belongs among the divisions elite.

Gugerty made his Octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 14: Silva vs. Irvin, submitting fellow newcomer Dale Hartt with a rear naked choke in round one. It marked the eighth straight win for the Total Combat promotion veteran who has finished more than 70 percent of his professional fights by way of submission.

In fact, Gugerty has not lost a bout since meeting up with Cub Swanson back in 2006.
