Ivan Serati to Debut at UFC 93
By: Kris Karkoski | Oct 8, 2008
UFC light heavyweight newcomer Ivan Serati (10-2) will make his UFC debut at UFC 93 on January 17th in Dublin, Ireland, according to MMA Junkie.
No opponent has yet been determined for the 205-pound bout.
Serati, who signed a multi-fight contract with the UFC in September, is a Cage Rage veteran who has won five-straight bouts including his most recent victory, an August 30th knockout of Claudio da Silva at a No Limits MMA event in Italy.
UFC 93 features a light heavyweight clash between former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin and former PRIDE champion Dan Henderson and a 205-pound battle between UFC hall of famer Mark Coleman and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
I doubt the UFC will want to put another big name on the card, because Rich and Dan will draw enough buys. What does everyone think about Tim “the Barbarian” Botesch as a possible opponenet.
to risky….give ivan a can warm up
Is it me or does Ivan have an unusaully big upper body. The pectoral/wing/soulder area……
Yeah he is a freak. Does anyone ever look at these guys and say “Wow I weigh more than these guys, and i sure don’t look like that”?
From Serati’s Wiki…

Statistics
Height 183 cm (6 ft 0 in)

$ick$, just because they “fight at 205″ does not mean they actually weigh 205, it just means they can cut enough water weight to weigh 205 the day before the fight. He could also have small legs. There was a guy I played football with in highschool that was ~200lbs, but his legs weren’t much bigger than mine (150lbs). Some guys called him chicken legs. I’ve also known guys that were close to the opposite, legs that were disproportionately bigger than their upper body.
I get what your saying I workout with a guy who is about my weight and he never works his legs and he looks like a flamingo.
Hi guys,
I am not allowed to say who my apponent is yet, but it’s going to be atough fight, which is fine with me, and very exciting.
Il terribile
Dacci dentro Ivan, l’Italia รจ con te!!
Nice to get some new HW faces in the mix, especially younger guys on the way up, Randy cant fight forever.
