Steve Byrnes, Luke Zachrich, Aaron Meisner and Mike Marrello Announced for The Ultimate Fighter 7
|
According to MMAjunkie.com, four of the sixteen fighters for The Ultimate Fighter 7 have been announced.
The four names announced so far are: Steve Byrnes, Luke Zachrich, Aaron Meisner and Mike Marrello.
Steve Byrnes currently has a 6-1-0 lifetime record in MMA fighting, with a 0-1 record in the UFC. Byrnes appeared on Fight Night 7 on December 13th, 2006 and lost to Logan Clark by unanimous decision. This was Byrnes' last professional fight, as he was obviously contemplating his future with Mixed Martial Arts fighting when the UFC came calling for The Ultimate Fighter 7. All six of Byrnes' victories came by submission, with his most recent victory being a win over Joshua Ferreira at Extreme Wars 5 - Battlegrounds.
Luke Zachrich currently has a 7-1-0 lifetime record in MMA fighting and has never appeared in the UFC before. He is currently on a four fight winning streak, with his most recent victories coming against William Hill and Darnell Strong at XFO 20 and 21. Three of his victories have come via knockout, and four have come via submission. His lone loss was a tap-out via armbar to Danny Ruiz at RFC 8 - Invasion of the Cage.
Aaron Meisner has the least experience of the four fighters announced so far, as he currently has a record of 2-0-0. His first professional fight was a win versus Pat Russo on June 9th, 2007 at EC 78 - Extreme Challenge 78. Both of his wins have come in the first round, and both have come via knockout. Appearing on The Ultimate Fighter 7 will be a dream come true for Meisner.
Mike Marrello currently has a MMA lifetime record of 5-1-1, with four of his victories coming via submission and one coming by majority decision. Marrello has never appeared in the UFC prior to TUF 7. Four of Marrello's five victories have come in the first round. His most recent victories came against Ron Fields at XFO 21 and Fahid Khamo at XFO 20. Marrello is a member of Team Curran.
The Ultimate Fighter 7 will debut on April 2nd, and will feature "Team Griffin" going up against "Team Rampage". We'll announce more of the fighters as they become available to us.
