Alves recently suffered a torn posterior cruciate ligament and will be out 3-4 weeks, likely returning to action in January or February.

Though Alves had sought to simply postpone the rematch until he was healed, the UFC will instead look for a replacement to fight Fitch at UFC 107, with Ariel Helwani telling MMAFrenzy.com that the promotion felt it wasn’t fair to make him wait further after he was bumped from UFC 106 last week.

UFC 107 is headlined by BJ Penn vs. Diego Sanchez and also features Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida, Cheick Kongo vs. Frank Mir, and Paul Buentello vs. Todd Duffee.

In their first meeting at UFC Fight Night 5 in mid-2006, Fitch earned a second-round technical knockout of Alves.

Fitch (19-3) reeled off a record eight-straight wins to begin his UFC career, but had his 15-fight win streak snapped with a unanimous decision loss to welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre last August. The American Kickboxing Academy fighter has bounced back in 2009 with back-to-back wins over Akihiro Gono and Paulo Thiago.

Alves (16-6) won seven-straight over the likes of Chris Lytle, Josh Koscheck, and Matt Hughes, but is coming off a unanimous decision loss to St-Pierre in July at UFC 100.

The matchup joins BJ Penn vs. Diego Sanchez, Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida, Cheick Kongo vs. Frank Mir, and Paul Buentello vs. Todd Duffee on the UFC 107 main card.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission released the official fighter salaries on Monday for the pay-per-view event, which took place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas in front of 11,000 fans for a $5.1 million live gate.

As previously reported, Lesnar received $400,000 to show with no win bonus for his second-round knockout of Frank Mir ($45,000) in the evening’s headliner. St-Pierre’s salary was comprised equally of a $200,000 is show money and a $200,000 win bonus for his unanimous decision victory over Thiago Alves ($60,000).

Dan Henderson ($250,000), Michael Bisping ($150,000), and Mark Coleman ($100,000) were also among the top salaries for the historic card, which drew widespread mainstream media coverage and could surpass 1.5 million PPV buys.

Remember, the salaries listed below are simply the figures the UFC is required to report to the NSAC and do not include sponsorships, ‘fight night’ bonuses, portions of pay-per-view revenue, which are received by top fighters such as Lesnar and St-Pierre, nor miscellaneous fees and taxes. For example, Lesnar, who officially earned $400,000, reportedly received more than $3 million from the UFC alone for his UFC 100 fight before his sponsorship revenue is included.

The total disclosed payroll for UFC 100 came in just shy of $1.8 million at $1,790,000.

The official salaries for UFC 100, as reported to the NSAC, were:

• Brock Lesnar ($400,000 – no win bonus) def. Frank Mir ($45,000)
• Georges St-Pierre ($400,000 – includes $200,000 win bonus) def. Thiago Alves ($60,000)

Despite his dominant performance, Lesnar earned little respect from fans after confronting a still-dazed Mir in the cage before flipping off the crowd and belittling top UFC sponsor Bud Light in a pro wrestling-esque post-fight speech.

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre retained the 170-pound title by dominating top-contender Thiago Alves en-route to a clear unanimous decision victory. St-Pierre, who neutralized Alves’ striking throughout the contest and used a series of takedowns to earn the win, will meet the winner of Mike Swick vs. Martin Kampmann in his next title defense.

Former PRIDE champion Dan Henderson likely earned another crack at the middleweight title currently held by Anderson Silva with a highlight reel second-round knockout of Michael Bisping. After picking Bisping apart during the first round, Henderson stalked the UK fighter in the second before connecting with a brutal right that collapsed Bisping to the canvas then followed it up with another huge right on the ground that left Bisping unconscious for nearly a minute before he staggered back to reality.

Jon Fitch and Yoshihiro Akiyama were also victorious on the main card, earning decision victories, while Mark Coleman and Jon Jones were the big winners on the evening’s preliminary card.

Stay tuned to MMAFrenzy.com all-day Sunday for comprehensive post-UFC 100 coverage.
