Jorge Rivera to return at UFC 122

Jorge Rivera was scheduled to fight in front of his home-town fans at UFC 118 in Boston, but a broken arm suffered in training forced him off the card.  El Conquistador is now set to take on his original UFC 118 opponent Alessio Sakara, who also was injured leading up to this weekend's event, at UFC 122 in Germany.

Rivera is 7-5 in his UFC career and currently on a 3 fight winning streak.  Late last month he discussed his injury, UFC 118, and the middleweight division on the 98.5 The Sports Hub airwaves.  Click here for the Rivera interview.
