UFC 151 – Daron Cruickshank vs. Henry Martinez announced for September 1st in Las Vegas, Nevada
A lightweight bout between former “Ultimate Fighter” cast member, Daron Cruickshank and plucky prospect, Henry Martinez has today been announced for the UFC 151 card set for September 1st in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC officials made the announcement earlier today. It is thought bout agreements have been signed and returned by both parties.
Cruickshank, who was disappointingly defeated by James Vick on the hit reality show, earned a unanimous decision victory over Chris Tickle on the undercards of the shows live finale, earning him a UFC contract in the process.
Martinez, a Team Jackson-Winklejohn fighter, won four fights in a row to earn a UFC contract but suffered a split decision loss to Matt Riddle after stepping up at short notice and moving up to welterweight. He rebounded with a split decision win over Bernardo Magalhaes on the UFC on FX 3 card.
