RUMOR: Lister - Leites Off Fight Night 15 Card

A reported bout between Dean Lister and Thales Leites has been cancelled before it was signed.

Lister has suffered a slight knee injury, and whilst this is not serious enough to require surgery or an excessively long recovery time, his management team have decided to pull him from the fight. They feel that it would disrupt his training and not allow him to get the necessary training from his camp at the current time.

The bout may be scheduled again in the future, once Lister's knee has been given chance to heal.

New Bout Added To Fight Night 15

The UFC have recently announced that Drew McFedries will fight at Fight Night 15 in September.

His opponent will be UFC newcomer and former IFL fighter Mike Massenzio. Massenzio currently holds a record of 10-2.

Fight Night 15 takes place in Omaha, Nebraska on 17th September, and features a co main event of Nate Diaz versus Josh Neer, and Mac Danzig versus Clay Guida.
