Ultimate Fighter Season 7 winner Amir Sadollah is preparing for his first fight since defeating C.B. Dalloway in the finals on June 21. Sadollah said that he’ll be fighting again in September or - more likely - October. At this point, the opponent is not known.
One question Sadollah did answer for certain though is which weight class he’ll be fighting at.
I’ll be fighting at middleweight. I will not be dropping to 170,” said Sadollah.
Sadollah has also moved from Virginia to Las Vegas to train at - where else - Xtreme Couture.

i love this kid. i hope he's successful in the ufc. it might take him some time, but i think he's got a lot of potential. he's definitely got the right attitude, unlike jesse 'the douche' taylor. i think he should drop to ww though. he's on the smaller end of the mw division. obviously the ww division is a lot deeper, but i still think he would do better there.

I honestly think kendall grove would maul him. I would like to see him matched up against one of the heavy hitters of the division. Unfortunately, while the LW and WW divisions are full of young guns the MW division has a lot of experianced guys and I can't think of too many guys to match him with on his level.
Maybe Rory Singer lol. Honestly they should probably match him up with more young guys from the show. Who else is there?

I'm glad to see he's training at X-treme Couture. It's going to do him a lot of good.
I'm really surprised he's not going to WW. I don't think he's been cutting any weight. He might just be one of those guys that takes quite a hit when he cuts.
He has a great attitude and the mentality the UFC looks for. I just wonder how many guys he can beat at MW. They've recently been stacking the division, desperately trying to find someone who can test Silva.
I just can't see him beating up anyone but bottom rung fighters right now. It was probably the least talented pool of fighters for a TUF season. Of course I thought CB would maul Amir, but I'm glad he didn't.

Are these in your opinion or is this what you heard. Grove seems like a big step for Amir's second fight in the UFC

my guess is Thales Leites. They are gonna put him up wit someone decent, no newbies. And Thales deserved to lose his last fight.
I cant see Kendall fighting Amir just yet. Then again, I cant see Kendall winning again so who knows. Joe Silva will give him a tough matchup that he can overcome.
+ I think every TUF winner has won there first fight after their Finale, I might be wrong tho. Lutter doesnt count.

He is fighting alot sooner than I thought. Training at Xtreme Couture helps. I hope he does well. I think it will be tough to find him a first opponent. I see the UFC bringing in someone for him to fight.

I really like Sadollah. I* am like all else. I hope the UFC brings him along slow and lets him develop as a fighter. I am looking forward to his fight.

its gona be a ufc vet who is either 1 and 0 or 1 and 1 ... cause nate diaz fought junior assuanso (one and one at the time) mac fought matt bocehk (1 and 1 at the time) bisping fought shafer 1 and 0 at the time ... and joe daddy lost his 1st fight sence the finalle ... hes the only one ... so with my logic ive decided hes gona fight one of the mw they brong in 2 fight on the silva irvin fight ... is rory markham a middle weight ? that would be a tuff fight but i could see it happening
