Jorge Rivera was forced to withdraw from his fight with Alessio Sakara at UFC 118 after breaking his arm. I think this is a great replacement for the UFC. Harris is a very good up n coming fighter who seems to get better every fight.
Your thoughts?
From fighting a striker to fighting a wrestler.
I think Gerald will have the advantage in a way but it depends on how he deals with consistancy in fighting within a month of his last fight.
Sakara has the experience advantage and his win over Thales is impressive.
It all depends on whos more ready and where Sakaras JJ & TDDis and can Gerald take Sakara down.
Gerald by Descision or GNP
or
Sakarra by TKO or Submission

I think Harris will take him down at will and maybe GNP the hell out of him

Tough break for Rivera (no pun intended). He really wanted to fight in the first Boston card, being from the South Shore and all. But Harris is a reaaly solid replacement. Either way, the fight should be great.
good opportunity for harris. his wrestling style is very entertaining and his striking is powerful. i lean towards him in this fight but sakara as of late has looked much improved.

He has to be one of the most active fighters in the UFC's roster. Which, since his career is in the process of taking off, its great for him.
