Caol Uno To Make UFC Return Against Spencer Fisher in June
Caol Uno
Two-time UFC title challenger Caol Uno will return to the promotion in June, squaring off with Spencer Fisher at UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany, according to MMAjunkie.com.
After compiling a 14-3-2 record, Uno was recruited to the UFC and immediately challenged Jens Pulver for what would become the UFC lightweight title, but suffered a majority decision loss in the 2001 bout. After earning a win over Fabiano Iha, Uno suffered a first-round knockout loss to BJ Penn before bouncing back with victories against Yves Edwards and Din Thomas. He next rematched Penn for the then-vacant lightweight belt, but the matchup resulted in a draw and the 155-pound class was temporarily abolished.
Since leaving the UFC in 2003 Uno has gone 10-5-1, most recently suffering a unanimous decision loss to highly-regarded lightweight Shinya Aoki.
The Miletich-trained Fisher has gone 7-3 since debuting in the UFC in late-2005, winning three of his last four bouts inside the octagon dating back to mid-2007. Following a unanimous decision loss to Frank Edgar in November 2007, “The King” has won back-to-back contests over Jeremy Stephens and Shannon Gugerty.
UFC 99 takes place on June 13th at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany. For the latest UFC 99 rumors check out the MMAFrenzy.com UFC rumors section.

YES THE LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION IS A VENDING MACHINE OF GREAT MATCH UPS

weight class*
What happened to huerta? I thought huerta was fighting fisher.
people keep asking this, he stopping fighting to pursue actuing career
still had a fight left on his contract I believe
ya i thinks so but i never hear any news about him.
He definitely does still have a fight left on his contract, but then he does plan to leave fighting and go act and model for a few years then come back to fighting.
are they gonna pull an arlovski and wait like a year til his contracts almost expired then make him fight on the undercard? i neva understood that and it makes even less sense wit a guy like huerta who said hes 100% commited to the ufc and when he gets back to fightin he will re-sign wit the ufc. all this for tekken ugh.
Has anyone heard about Kimo (not Kimbo) being caught with chrystal meth?
sure have was caught in an orange jumpsuit wearing a badge that only police should have…
Welcome back
Now just bring in JZ and Aoki. Then we can see who the true top fighter in Lightweight is.
Uno’s first fight with BJ Penn is still my favorite fight of all time. Everything about it was perfect from BJ sprinting into the ring, the quick ko, to UFC officials having to chase him down in the locker room to bring him back to the octogon for the announcement. I watch it on youtube on a regular basis–F’ing hilarious.
Uno’s mostly known, or problably jusst known for his beatdown loss to Bj Penn. I believe that he needs to decicively take out Fisher in order for Uno to be taken serious
