Strap yourselves in,
fight fans…we have another explosive fight brewing on the horizon. According to
Fighters Only the UFC is in negotiation with featherweight stars Josh Grispi
and Andy Ogle to square off on February 16, 2013 in London when the
organization heads overseas to host the upcoming UFC on FX 7 event.
Grispi (14-4), once considered one of the top prospects at
145 pounds, is in desperate need of a win insde the octagon. He is riding the
tail of a three-fight losing streak that includes a submission loss
(north-south choke) to Rani Yahya and a body shot knockout at the hands of
George Roop. Grispi will enter the fight with his back undoubtedly against the
wall and will be enter into hostile territory as he takes on the local London
boy and TUF vet, Andy Ogle. If Grispi doesn’t leave London with a victory we
could very well be watching him make his last appearance inside the octagon.
This is what they call a “do-or-die” fight for “The Fluke”.
Andy Ogle (8-2) will be looking to spoil the second-coming late
push of Grispi and leave with a victory in front of his home crowd. Ogle had
his featherweight debut ruined by Hamid Corassani in a losing effort as he
dropped a split decision to "Akira" at the UFC on FUEL TV 5 even just a few
months back. Ogle will also be looking to keep his UFC career afloat and I guarantee
both competitors are feeling the pressure heading into this fight. This will
surely be a great addition to the UFC on FX 7 card in London and is a promising
treat for the fans.
UFC on FX 7 is scheduled for February 16th, 2013
at the Wembley Arena in London, England. For more information and news leading
