Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) gets another main card match-up for its upcoming UFC on FUEL TV 2 fight card, the second entry into the cable television network’s live mixed martial arts (MMA) programming on April 14 at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

Hard-hitting middleweight Brian Stann will try to get back into the win column when he takes on former Italian boxer Alessio Sakara, according to a report from MMA NYTT.

Stann (11-4) saw his three-fight win streak come to an abrupt halt at the hands of Chael Sonnen, who cut off the oxygen at UFC 136: “Edgar vs. Maynard 3″ back in October 2010.

Sakara (15-8) is also coming off a loss, a three round beatdown at the expense of Chris Weidman last March as part of the UFC on Versus 3 event in Louisville, Kentucky.

Here’s how the UFC on FUEL TV fight card is shaping up:

170 lbs.: DaMarques Johnson vs. John Maguire
185 lbs.: Francis Carmont vs. Magnus Cedenblad
170 lbs.: Papy Abedi vs. James Head
185 lbs.: Alessio Sakara vs. Brian Stann
205 lbs.: Cyrille Diabate vs. Jorgen Kruth
170 lbs.: Besam Yousef vs. Simeon Thoresen

After parting ways with long-time training camp Golden Glory because of a “breach of trust,” Alistair Overeemmade the move stateside from his native Holland in search of a new gym that he could call home and help him prepare for his upcoming bout against Brock Lesnar tomorrow night (Dec. 30, 2011) at UFC 141 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

After making a brief stop at Mark Munoz’s Reign Training Center in Orange County, Calif., the “Demolition Man” landed at former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight (and light heavyweight) championRandy Couture’s Xtreme Couture in “Sin City.”

It seemed like a match made in mixed martial arts (MMA) heaven as Overeem aligned himself with the famed camp that houses such stars as Gray Maynard, Forrest Griffin and of course, “The Natural.” However, the union was short lived, as Overeem had to suddenly move his training camp back to Holland to care for his ailing mother.

And even though that may be the primary reason for leaving, Gil Martinez — head trainer at Xtreme Couture — tells Fightline.com that there was more to the story with the former Strikeforce heavyweight champion training at the gym.

Check it out:

“There were some issues with Alistair training at Xtreme Couture because Randy, after he fought Brock, trained with him and signed a disclosure with them. So even though Randy isn’t at the gym, Brock’s people made it an issue so Overeem ended up not finishing his training here.”

Lesnar, who has his own training facilities with DeathClutch Gym, has often spent time training at Couture’s Las Vegas-based gym since defeating the UFC hall of Famer at UFC 91 back in 2008.

Apparently, Team Lesnar wasn’t too fond of the idea of its upcoming opponents sharing the same trainers and facilities as them, which added to the Dutchman’s untimely departure. Regardless of the abrupt changes, Alistair Overeem maintains that no distraction will affect his performance Friday night as he makes his much anticipated debut in the world’s pre-eminent MMA promotion.

Or will it?

Lesnar admitted that he “doesn’t care” what Overeem did or does prior to their monstrous New Year’s Eve weekend clash.

Actions speak louder than words.

Though the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight division isn’t as deep as some of the other weight classes, it is still highly unlikely the promotion would keep someone around if they weren’t performing.

Diego Nunes and Manny Gamburyan are looking to stay away from the proverbial axe by avoiding back-to-back losses inside the Octagon.

With nothing guaranteed, especially in the UFC, both featherweights look to prolong their stay with the world’s preeminent mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion by earning a win at UFC 141 and impressing their Zuffa employers in the process.

Diego Nunes is coming off a valiant effort against seasoned veteran Kenny Florian at UFC 131 back in June. Florian was awarded the unanimous decision victory and earned a title shot against Nunes training partner, Jose Aldo. In the process, “The Gun” saw his three fight win streak come to an end.

Nunes hopes to bounce back and get another streak going against another former World Extreme Cagefighting(WEC) colleague, Manny Gamburyan, who is currently on a two fight skid.

After being knocked out by Jose Aldo in his final fight in the WEC organization, which was for “Junior’s” 145-pound title, Gamburyan found his way back into the ranks of the UFC looking to make a better run than he had in his first go-round with the organization.

No such luck.

In his first fight back with the UFC, “Manvil” lost to Tyson Griffin via unanimous decision at UFC Live: “Kongo vs. Barry,” picking up right where he left off.

Now, both featherweights look to stop their woes by earning a much needed victory this Friday (Dec. 30, 2011) at UFC 141: “Lesnar vs. Overeem.” With their backs against the wall, expect Nunes and Gamburyan to fight their way out of a predicament fighters don’t like to find themselves in: facing a possible pink slip.

Which featherweight will be guaranteed a spot in the UFC’s roster and who will be hoping for another opportunity to prove they belong in 2012?

This fight is going to be good.
