UFC 134 Brasil - Yves Jabouin vs Ian Loveland

Recommended Posts

They can't all be Brazilian.

Haitian-Canadian Yves Jabouin has been booked to throw leather against American Ian Loveland at the upcoming UFC 134: "Silva vs. Okami" event on Aug. 27 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Dana White announced the pending contest earlier today, saying:

"Ian Loveland and Yves Jabouin have verbally agreed to fight on August 27 in Rio De Janeiro. Both are exceptionally tough competitors and this will be Jabouin's first bout in the bantamweight division."

Jabouin's move to the 135-pound division was necessitated by a 1-3 standing in his last four bouts at featherweight including a highlight reel flying triangle submission loss in his most recent bout against Pablo Garza back in April.

Will he find the terrain is not so tough in the bantamweight division?

Star-divide

In the beginning stages of his career, Ian Loveland was the very definition of mediocrity. The Team Quest member struggled to a 7-7 record, but not one of his fights went to the judges scorecards.

That streak would end with win number eight, but he went on to win his next seven in a row, including a short notice unanimous decision win over Tyler Toner in his UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale back in December of last year (2010).

"The Barn Owl" then drew a ridiculously tough test for his bantamweight debut in former division title challenger Joseph Benavidez, a fight he lost via unanimous decision.

Time to get back on the hog.

UFC 134 will feature Anderson Silva defending his middleweight title against Yushin Okami, while Mauricio Rua will make his return to the Octagon for the first time since coughing up his 205-pound strap to Jon Jones in a highly anticipated rematch against Forrest Griffin.

In addition, mixed martial arts legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will make what could be his last stand in front of a hometown crowd when he tries to quell the uprising of division prospect Brendan Schaub.

Pô agente nao precisava de atletas estrangeiros fazendo lutas entre eles no UFC Rio, o Brasil tem 37 lutadores no UFC da pra fazer o main e undercard o evento,pois nas lutas só um precisa ser brasileiro, então com 15 lutas só precisa de 7 lutadores brasileiros, dava pra fazer tranquilo o evento só com brasileiros.

Boa luta mesmo.

O Ian Loveland fez uma boa luta contra o Faber.

Já o Jabouin, se perder, acho que será cortado, pois não vem de uma sequência muito boa.

Não acho que o card tem que ter brasleiros em todas as lutas, gostei desta confirmação.

Dificilmente um card nos EUA é só de americano, e com certeza a maioria de lutadores do UFC são americanos.

Eu quero ver porrada de qualidade é isso que importa !

Acho que vc confundiu o Loveland com o Eddie Wineland.

No mais, boa luta. Pra fechar com chave de ouro eu colocaria Gustafsson x Maldonado, mas acho que o mauler já tem luta marcada.
