Rich Clementi Vs. Anthony Johnson added to UFC 76 'Knockout'

Send News


When Wilson Gouveia had to pull out of his match with Jason Lambert at UFC 76 and it was decided to just postpone the match instead of find a new opponent, it was believed that the card would only feature 8 bouts. Yet, UFC put one together over the past few days and the show is back to 9.

Anthony "Rumble" Johnson who was the original opponent for Jess Liaudin at UFC 75 has been added to the card against TUF 4 Alumni Rich Clementi. Johnson made his UFC debut at Fight Night 10 on 06/12 as a late replacement and knocked out Chad Reiner in 13 seconds in a Welterweight Contest.

The card for the 09/22 show in Anaheim looks like this...

1. Light Heavyweight Bout: Chuck Liddell Vs. Keith Jardine
   
2. Lightweight Bout: Tyson Griffin Vs. Thiago Tavares
   
3. Light Heavyweight Bout: Mauricio Rua Vs. Forrest Griffin
   
4. Light Heavyweight Bout: Kazuhiro Nakamura Vs. Lyoto Machida
   
5. Welterweight Bout: Jon Fitch Vs. Diego Sanchez
   
6. Lightweight Bout: Diego Saraiva Vs. Jeremy Stevens
   
7. Heavyweight Bout: Scott Junk Vs. Christian Wellisch
   
8. Lightweight Bout: Matt Wiman Vs. Michihiro Omigawa
   
9. Welterweight Bout: Anthony Johnson Vs. Rich Clementi

I still love this card, Tavares-Griffin, Liddell-Jardine, Sanchez-Fitch and the debut of Showgun, thumbs up!
