CHARLOTTE, N.C. – MMAjunkie.com is on scene and reporting live from
today’s
“UFC Fight Night 21: Florian vs. Gomi” event at Bojangles Coliseum in
Charlotte, N.C.

Be sure to follow along with the latest card updates in our UFC Fight
Night 21 live results post, and then discuss the event in the comments
section below.

We’ll provide live round-by-round and official results from the night’s
preliminary card beginning at approximately 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT)
and the night’s main card at 8 p.m. ET.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It’s funny what can happen when you stop worrying
about results and start focusing on yourself

At 38 years old, UFC middleweight Jorge Rivera (17-7 MMA, 6-5 UFC) is
doing exactly that, and with three wins in his past four fights, he’s
been thrilled with the results.

“It’s just a different way of approaching it, to be honest with you,” Rivera told MMAjunkie.com. “I don’t worry as much.
I care more about the performance than I do about the wins and losses.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – UFC heavyweight Stefan Struve (19-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC)
didn’t exactly impress in his debut for the organization.

Struve was stopped by Brazilian Junior Dos Santos in the first round of
their February 2009 meeting. Of course, Dos Santos has done that to
almost every opponent he’s faced.

And since that debut, Struve has now put together three-straight UFC
wins, and the Dutch youngster said he believes he’s a real threat in the
UFC’s heavyweight division.

Former PRIDE champ Takanori Gomi looks to re-establish himself among the world’s best lightweights, but standing in his path is a resurgent Kenny Florian who hope to quickly work his way to a third shot at the UFC’s elusive lightweight title.

Meanwhile, “The Ultimate Fighter 10” winner Roy Nelson looks to validate his tournament win and potentially dive into the UFC’s heavyweight title mix against Dutch giant Stefan Struve, who currently carries an impressive three-fight winning streak.
