Travis Lutter
A middleweight matchup featuring UFC veterans Travis Lutter and Dean Lister will headline Maximum Fighting Championship 21 “Hard Knocks,” which is slated to take place on May 15th at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
MFC promoter Mark Pavelich announced the bout in an appearance on “Carson’s Corner” earlier this week.
Lutter (9-5), the winner of the middleweight tournament on The Ultimate Fighter 4, famoulsy missed weight for his title bout against Anderson Silva at UFC 67 in early-2007. With the title no longer up for grabs, Lutter was defeated by Silva via second-round submission. He reuturned to the octagon over a year later at UFC 83 last April, losing to Rich Franklin via second-round TKO. Lutter was released by the UFC following the back-to-back losses and has not fought since.
Lister (11-6), regarded as one of the top grapplers in the world, compiled a 4-2 record in the UFC between 2006 and 2008 that included victories over Jeremy Horn and Alessio Sakara. After losing a unanimous decision to Yushin Okami at UFC 92 in December Lister requested and was granted his release by the UFC.

Should be a good match-up but I think Lister will submit Lutter.
anyone want to do an over-under on how long they’re on their feet? haha
lutter will gas after the 1st 90 secs and lister will sub him. on a side note does anyone kno if anyone took lister up on his offer to go to his gym? that was some funny stuff when it came out
I see Lutter keeping it on the feet a little longer in this one. Lister’s stand-up is just god awful.
dean by submission after lutter gases….its a shame i like lutter and dean both….but both could be really good just by changing up a few things….1 dean learn some standup……..2 lutter find a conditioning coach
If Lister doesn’t win this by sub I would be very suprised, hell If he loses I will be absolutely shocked….. Not that it will be easy to be Lutter but Lister should be able to do so…
