So Mark Hominick won’t be on Canadian soil for his next fight.

With UFC 145 now set to take place April 21 at Atlanta’s Philips Arena,
the onetime featherweight challenger’s bout with Eddie Yagin has been booked for the event, officials announced today.

Hominick and Yagin were originally slated to fight on March 24 at Bell
Centre in Montreal, where Hominick had twice fought under the UFC banner
to disappointing results.

Bellator lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez is not motivated by a desire to keep his belt. He is motivated by the fear of losing it.

“I have a lot of demons, and that boosts me,” he said. “That helps me prepare the way I do for these sort of belts, so I always, always, always, fight up.”

At first glance, though, it would appear he’s not fighting up, but rather down. The third defense of his title is against a guy with the fraction of the fights he has – a mere eight outings compared with his 24.

event in Rio de Janeiro.

In this week’s edition of HDNet Fights Video Vault, we present the
fight, which includes MMAjunkie.com’s John Morgan and UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie calling the action.
