The battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects expected for UFC 120 has been scratched.
Rising star John Hathaway, who had been scheduled to face Korean standout Dong Hyun Kim, will now oppose American veteran Mike Pyle, after Kim was knocked out of the bout due to an injury.
MMA Fighting has learned that Kim recently suffered an elbow injury during training that required surgery, forcing him out of the anticipated welterweight clash. No timetable was given for his return.

After opening the door to James Toney, the UFC better get used to other boxers trying to wedge their way into the octagon.
The newest name on the list? Australian boxer and IBO cruiserweight champ Danny Green, who claims he wants to face Brock Lesnar next February, when the UFC likely returns to his home country. The cruiserweight division, for those of you who don’t follow boxing, goes up to 200 pounds. According to BoxRec.com, Green weighed in at 184.75 for his last fight, meaning he’d give up around 80 pounds in the hypothetical matchup against the UFC heavyweight champion that will never, ever, in a million years happen.
Of course, there’s a huge caveat to Green’s interest anyway: He wants to fight under amended rules.

In theory, a midseason awards selection would preclude anything that happened after June 30, but let’s be informal and grant this awards column a four-day waiver so I can name UFC 116 as the fight card of the year thus far.
Perhaps because it is the freshest of events in our minds, it seems like the obvious winner, but even a closer look confirms what we knew. It was an event that had a little bit of everything you’d want in a night of action, from highlight reel finishes (Gerald Harris’ slam KO over Dave Branch) to brilliant technique (Chris Lytle’s finishing reverse triangle/armbar sequence) to a blistering main event between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin in what is rapidly becoming the sport’s glamour division.

UFC President Dana White told MMA Fighting on Friday that Jake Shields has yet to officially sign with the UFC, but that doesn’t mean plans for Shields’ debut with the company aren’t moving forward.
So confident is the company that Shields will soon be in the fold that his first opponent has apparently been selected. Two sources close to the situation have told MMA Fighting that Shields will likely make his first foray into the octagon against welterweight contender Martin Kampmann.
Barring any unforeseen setbacks, Shields’ signing is expected to be finalized in the next several days as the UFC moves to populate upcoming events.
