Trending: UFC 160
A matchup between middleweights Jorge Rivera and Alessio Sakara has been booked again for UFC 133 in August, the UFC announced Tuesday, after an illness to Sakara scrapped the bout from November’s UFC 122.
Rivera (19-8) had his three-fight win streak snapped in a controversial loss to Michael Bisping in February, while Sakara (15-8) had also won three-straight before being upset by newcomer Chris Weidman in March.
The UFC 133 fight card is expected to take place in early-August between UFC 132 on July 2 and “UFC: Rio” on Aug. 27.

Jorge Rivera vs bisbang 2
ah yea!!!!!
Loser takes one step through the exit door – Dana is pretty unforgiving with his 3 losses rule (unless he REALLY like the fighter – see Dan Hardy. Don’t see any of that here)
Joe Silva [or whoever] must be pretty convinced that this is going to be a decent match-up, if they’re re-booking it after Rivera’s loss to Bisping…
that kinda what i thought as well. dont c very matches re-booked after the inital fight falls through. should b a decent match up.
