Seven years after his most recent trip to the octagon, Jay Hieron (23-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC) is returning to the UFC. Multiples sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Hieron has agreed to replace injured Josh Koscheck (17-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) and now will meet fellow welterweight Jake Ellenberger (27-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC) at UFC 151.

to those who said it wasnt a big deal that koscheck was out of this fight, you were mistaken

Then Jay will be cut if he loses.
I only like this if Ellenberger wins, b/c Jay barely eeked out some wins in Bellator that should have been losses for him.
24 days until the event.
This fight will probably still be the co-main event with how weak the card is.
Good to see Hieron back in the UFC but this is a tough draw.....Ellenberger via Pure Destruction

This obviously is not a big draw fight like Kos. Hieron also has a win over Ellenberger in the IFL a while back, so this`ll be their second fight. I`m just happy Ellenberger is still fighting tbh.
Haven't been impressed with Hieron in Bellator so
for me.
Finally I get to see someone beat the shit out of Hieron.
THERE IS A GOD
Interesting replacement choice.
Really???
Big Tim Sylvia is probably sitting in his shed somewhere, a vacant look in his eye. A pistol in his lap.
I'd rather watch James Toney fight Hong Man Choi.
Something about Hieron makes me not want to watch any fight hes in.
