UFC newcomer Mike "The Juggernaut" Wessel (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) replaces Mark Burch (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in a UFC 92 fight with Antoni Hardonk (7-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC), the UFC recently announced.
The Wessel-Hardonk fight is slated for the un-aired preliminary card of UFC 92, which takes place Dec. 27 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Wessel, a two-year professional, is currently riding a seven-fight win streak. The former University of Arkansas assistant strength and conditioning coach will fight for the sixth time in 2008. He currently trains at the Little Rock-based Westside Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Westside is the martial-arts center co-owned by Roli Delgado, who was on The Ultimate Fighter and found on this past Saturday night's UFC card, beating John Polakowski.
Hardonk, a former kickboxer, made his octagon debut at UFC 65 and defeated Sherman Pendergarst via first-round TKO. The 32-year-old Dutchman then suffered back-to-back losses to Justin McCully and Frank Mir before recently scoring TKO victories over Colin Robinson (in just 17 seconds) and Eddie Sanchez.
