 UFC Signs Croatian Goran Reljic for UFC 83

Continuing its international shopping spree, the UFC has signed Croatian light heavyweight Goran Reljic (7-0 MMA, O-O UFC) to a multi-fight deal that will likely put him on the fight card for UFC 83, which is tentatively scheduled for March 8 in London, England.

Reljic, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace, is undefeated in his career, which has included five victories via submission.

The 23-year-old, who is associated with the Gracie Berra UK team, splits time training in his native Croatia and with Roger Gracie in England. He recently won the 2007 European Gracie Championship in the 93-kg (205-lb.) weight class.

not just for bisping. ufc is popular there. more people was at ufc 75 than any of the shows in the us. not sure if that was a one off being the first in london and all with that great card with rampage etc but i think they should at least be able to draw as big crowds as in the us

i'd go again if they put together a strong card but ufc 83 doesnt look that good and i prefer london over manchester as theres so much more to do there

Randy Couture has resigned. Andrei Arlovski has one fight left on his current deal. Gabriel Gonzaga is a one-kick wonder. Mirko Cro Cop is lost. Brandon Vera just lost.

What’s all that mean?

It means that Fabricio Werdum — with his technical knockout of Gonzaga at UFC 80: “Rapid Fire” this weekend — perhaps locked up a title shot against the winner of the interim championship between Tim Sylvia and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” on February 2.

I don’t care. He could talk all of the smack he wants, it doesn’t really matter to me. He’s going to have to get in the cage and he’s going to have to fight me and I’m not a pushover. I’m coming with a lot of heat, I’m coming with a lot of pressure and I could fight with the best of the best. It’s not going to be an easy fight for him by any means and he’s going to have to pay for his comments so we’ll see.
