It’s been a boring few days in MMA. Nothing has really happened this week that is all that newsworthy. No cards, no one got arrested, nothing.
However, There is a bit of an interesting story unfolding in Niagara Falls tomorrow night. Former UFC fighter Corey Hill is returning the cage for the first time since his gruesome leg injury suffered at UFC Fight for The Troops over a year ago.
For those who don’t remember Hill, he lied his way onto TUF 5, saying that he had four pro fights, when in reality he had one. He still managed to win a fight on the show, and was signed to the UFC after defeating Joe Veres on the finale.
His skill set was remarkably raw, but he possesses a remarkable attribute for a 155 pounder: He’s 6′4. That’s right. Most lightweights are 5′9 at most, and Hill is the size of an NBA shooting guard.
He lost to Justin Buchholz at UFC 86, and than suffered his remarkable injury against Dale Hartt, making him 2-2. Now, he begins the comeback trail tomorrow in Niagara Falls.
Good luck, Corey. Everyone at the site will be rooting for you. Who knows, if we don’t have anything to do tomorrow, maybe we’ll take a nine hour ride up to watch you come back.
