Heard a rumor that Tiger Muay Thai alumni Brian Ebersole GETS THE CALL TO THE UFC!!!!

Not sure how legit my source is…but I usually have an ear to the ground when it comes to the fight game :)

It’s being reported that Tiger Muay Thai alumni Brian Ebersole will replace an injured Carlos Condit and compete against UFC Star Chris Lytle at UFC 127 in Sydney Australia.

Ebersole fought a professional Muay Thai bout in Thailand for Tiger Muay Thai and has won 11 out of his last 12 fights, including an impressive win against former UFC Champion Carlos Newton.  His only defeat coming to Bellator Champion Hector Lombard.  A veteran of over 60 professional fights…I’ve known him a long time…and it’s nice to see him finally get the call after paying his dues!

The main event of UFC Sydney will feature another Tiger Muay Thai alumni as American Kickboxing Academy star Jon Fitch battles former UFC Champion BJ Penn.

….Needless to say…this is going to be a badass card to attend.  I’m excited!!
