Jason MacDonald Replaces Jason Day At UFC 88

UFC middleweight Jason MacDonald will replace Jason Day at UFC 88, in a match up against Jason Lambert.

The bout, scheduled for September 6th, takes place in Atlanta, Georgia. Jason Day is reported to have suffered an arm injury in training for this bout.

This fight will be Jason Lambert's first at middleweight, and he now has a tough opponent in Jason MacDonald. MacDonald is coming off a third round submission loss to Demian Maia at UFC 77. This will be his second fight in as many months.

New Bout Added To UFC 87

A new bout has been added to the card for UFC 87, scheduled for August 9th at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The bout will feature Jason MacDonald taking on Demian Maia. This is expected to be a great fight, as both fighters bring a lot to the table, both on the ground an don their feet.

MacDonald currently holds a record of 20-9, winning his last fight against Joe Doerksen at UFC 83. Of his 20 wins, 16 come via submission, so he shoudl be able to put up a good defence to Maia's notable jiu-jitsu game.

Maia currently holds a record of 7-0, with his last win coming to Ed Herman via technical submission at UFC 83. Five out of seven wins come via submission, so look for this fight to end up on the ground. It is possible, of course, that MacDonald may want to keep the fight standing due to Maia's ground expertese, but only time will tell.

This fight joins confirmed fights between Mark Coleman and Brock Lesnar, and Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta.
