Luke Cummo Out, Johnny Rees In at UFC Fight Night 16
Luke Cummo has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout against Steve Bruno at UFC Fight Night 16 for undisclosed reasons, according to MMA Junkie.
Johnny Rees (10-1) has agreed to replace Cummo and take on Bruno (11-4) on the “UFC Fights for the Troops” preliminary card.
Rees entered his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 14 in July undefeated at 10-0 but left with the first blemish on his record, a first-round submission loss to Nate Lougran. “The Hater Hurter” has earned stoppages in all 10 of his professional victories, submitting 8 of his opponents while knocking out 2.
Following four-straight victories, primarily in South Korea’s Spirit MC promotion, Bruno made his UFC debut in August at UFC 87, losing via unanimous decision to Chris Wilson. He’s posted stoppages in all but one of his victories, defeating 6 opponents via knockout and 4 by submission.
UFC Fight Night 16 “UFC Fights for the Troops” takes place on December 10th at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina and includes Josh Koscheck vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Mike Swick vs. Jonathan Goulet.

AM I STUPID TO BELIEVE THAT CARLOS CONDIT WILL BEAT JAKE SHIELDS… THATS A FIGHT I’D LIKE TO SEE RIGHT THERE… DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THAT?
im wit u yz even tho i dont really like either guy. condit cuz hes a lil weird but i def have more respect for him afta his last war and shields is retarded he called out gsp ur dumb for thinkin u can even hold ur own against gsp. but lookin souly at there last preformances id say condit runs amuck on jack shields. his better strikin would b the diff
Jake Sheilds would get worked at every aspect of the game by Condit. Condit has striking were Shields does not, not to mention a much more solid ground game.
on a side note dont u think they should add condit or torres to the next wec card since they pushed it back like 2 months cuz of the hurricane. also i dont understand y there havin a mw title fight when there just disbandin that and the lhw division.
yeah yzfox,
I’d like to see that one too .
damn cummo hasn’t been the same since ultimate fighter, i thought he would be a decent name because of his heart, he could have been fight night televised fighter but damn he keeps losing non stop, what the **** happened
