The UFC has likely released Hermes Franca, Chris Wilson, Marcus Aurelio, and Justin McCully following their recent losses, as MMA Survival notes that all four have been removed from UFC.com.

Nate Quarry’s $60,000 payday for his main card win over Tim Credeur at UFC Fight Night 19 on Wednesday in Oklahoma City topped the event’s $476,000 payroll, according to official fighter salary figures released on Monday by the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission.

Nate Diaz and Carlos Condit were also among the card’s top earners, pocketing $48,000 apiece for their main card victories.

Following an early knockdown at the hands of Melvin Guillard in the UFC Fight Night 19 headliner, Nate Diaz took advantage of his first opportunity on the ground, forcing Guillard to tap to a guillotine choke in the second-round of the main event.

The finish capped off the Spike TV-televised card, which took place at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Tomorrow night Oklahoma City is UFC Ultimate Fight Night 19, headlined by Nate Diaz vs. Melvin Guillard. There are certainly some interesting match ups, and a few that on paper seem a bit one sided. I decided I would go on the record with my official predictions for the event, and so have some of the other staff here at MMAFrenzy.

Despite a hard weight cut, UFC Fight Night 19 headliner Nate Diaz successfully made weight at Tuesday’s official weigh-ins for the event, weighing in exactly at the 156-pound non-title lightweight limit, while his main event opponent, Melvin Guillard, tipped the scale one pound lighter at 155. The rest of the 11-bout card also successfully made weight on their first attempt.

Welterweight Mike Pyle will look to bounce back from his UFC debut loss when he faces Chris Wilson at UFC Fight Night 19 on September 16 in Oklahoma City.

Veteran Mike Pyle will replace fellow-welterweight Chris Wilson and take on Brock Larson on the UFC 98 preliminary card tomorrow night at UFC 98 in Las Vegas. The replacement was confirmed by the UFC on Friday afternoon just hours before the official weigh-ins for the event.

UFC welterweight Chris Wilson, who is scheduled to take on fellow 170-pounder Brock Larson next Saturday at UFC 98 in Las Vegas, survived an armed robbery on Wednesday in Brazil.

Brock Larson, who recently made the move from the WEC to the UFC, will be stepping in to face Chris Wilson at UFC 98, on May 23rd. Wilson was originally slated to face Josh Koshcheck at the event, before Koscheck was forced to withdraw last week due to a foot injury.

Josh Koscheck has been forced off UFC 98 due to a foot injury, UFC President Dana White will reportedly reduce his public UFC role, Strikeforce is considering a rematch between Mitsuhiro Ishida and Gilbert Melendez for its April 11th event, and more.

It was already reported earlier this week that Josh Koscheck would be making another quick turnaround, and returning to action in May at UFC 98. This was in spite of the fact that a rumored bout with Karo Parisyan had fallen through due to Parisyan’s drug related suspension. Though the agreements have not [...]
