Tonight Al Iaquinta’s Serra Longo teammate Chris Weidman will take on Mark Munoz in the main event of UFC on Fuel 4.

Weidman defeated Alessio Sakara in his UFC debut, Jesse Bongfeldt, Tom Lawlor, and most recently a big unanimous decision win over Demian Maia, a fight Weidman took on two weeks notice. Weidman was also the Ring of Combat middle weight champion. Chris, originally from Baldwin New York has a strong wrestling background. His resume is an impressive one.

Al’s Predictions for UFC 148

Tonight LIVE on PPV will be UFC 148, a card that many are calling the event of the year, and others are calling the biggest UFC in history. In the main event Anderson Silva will take on Chael Sonnen for the middle weight title. It’s no surprise that these two guys despise each other. Sonnen is the only guy to ever step into the octagon and beat up Anderson Silva. The last time the two fought Sonnen controlled the fight for four and a half rounds and then got caught in a submission late in the fifth round. The fight, if it lives up to all the hype(and I think it will) has the makings of being one of the greatest rematches ever. Both guys, especially Sonnen have done a lot of talking, but now it’s time to stop all the games and for these guys to settle this once and for all. The fight’s going to be a great one. The card will also have the third fight, and “rubber match” between Forest Griffin and Tito Ortiz. The fight will be the final one of Tito’s career. Also Al’s Serra Longo teammate Constantinos Philippou will take on Riki Fukuda LIVE on FX. Make sure you watch and show him some support. Here’s all of Al’s fight predictions for the night.

Al at Brooklyn MMA

Just about a month removed from the TUF Finale I’ve had a lot of people asking what’s next for Al? What’s the plan? What’s he been up to? When might his next fight be? The experience on this season of UFC’s TUF Live was a great one, but also a tough and grueling one. Three months of intense training, seclusion from the world, and three fights in three weeks is a very difficult task to ask of any fighter. With that in mind to answer the biggest question people have had in regards to what Al’s been up to, he’s been letting his body heal, and enjoying the summer and being back in the real world.
