Report: Phillipe Nover to face Sam Stout at UFC Fight Night 19 in Oklahoma

by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Aug 20, 2009 at 9:00 am ET

With Kyle Bradley (14-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC) forced out a UFC Fight Night 19 contest with Sam Stout (14-5-1 MMA, 3-4 UFC), "The Ultimate Fighter 8" finalist Phillipe Nover (5-2-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) has agreed to step up on four-weeks' notice and face the Canadian slugger.

News of the change comes courtesy of AOL FanHouse.

Featuring a main event between lightweights Nate Diaz and Melvin Guillard, UFC Fight Night 19 takes place Sept. 16 at Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City. The main card airs live on Spike TV.

After earning high praise from UFC president Dana White for his performance on "The Ultimate Fighter," Nover will be looking to erase the sting of back-to-back losses in the UFC. After Efrain Escudero upset Nover in the December 2008 finals of "TUF 8," the lightweight was then stopped by Bradley in just 63 seconds in a bout most observers felt was halted early.

Meanwhile, Stout will be looking to build on the momentum of an April win over Matt Wiman, a bout that earned the pair the evening's "Fight of the Night." The win for Stout also snapped his own two-fight losing streak in the UFC.

With the change to the card, UFC Fight Night 19 now includes:

MAIN CARD
Nate Diaz vs. Melvin Guillard
Roger Huerta vs. Gray Maynard
Carlos Condit vs. Jake Ellenberger
Tim Credeur vs. Nate Quarry
PRELIMINARY CARD
Steve Cantwell vs. Brian Stann
Mike Pyle vs. Chris Wilson
C.B. Dollaway vs. Dan Miller
Phillipe Nover vs. Sam Stout
Justin Buchholz vs. Jeremy Stephens
Brock Larson vs. Mike Pierce
Ryan Jensen vs. Steven Steinbeiss

Man this card is really shaping up to be great. Is it me or have the UFNs gotten better than the PPVs? Anyway, poor Phillipe. Sam Stout is probably going to beat the crap out of him!!

Tim Credeur....HAHA!!! What a joke. Quarry is going to run right through him man...you are right! I can't stand Guillard...I don't care how he gets beat as long as he gets beat. Plus I really like Nate and I think he will be a top contender soon. I like Huerta but Maynard is big and strong. I hope Huerta pulls out the win...but this is his last fight. He says he is leaving after his contract is up to pursue acting.
