· Frank Trigg Signs Four Fight Deal With UFC

According to a report by MMAJunkie.com, Frank Trigg has signed a four-fight contract with the UFC. Trigg, a jack of all trades in the industry, will be making his second stint with the organization. The first run saw the radio host, commentator, and on again off again professional wrestler, go 2-3 in the welterweight division between 2003 and 2005, with all three losses coming against arguably the two greatest welterweights of all time, when he dropped bouts to GSP and to Matt Hughes twice.

Trigg has been in negotiations with Zuffa since last year and had originally wanted to return as a welterweight in the WEC. Since the conversations between Trigg and Zuffa have been going on, there has been quite a bit of change for the WEC which has seen the organization do away with it's light heavyweight, middleweight, and welterweight divisions, leaving Trigg out of the questions for the UFC's little sister.

Trigg commented on the situation, "We tried real hard to make a deal for the WEC, back when they still had a welterweight division, and we just couldn't come together," Trigg said. "I talked to them again, and (WEC matchmaker) Sean Shelby and (UFC matchmaker) Jose Silva and I got together and worked it all out."

Since leaving the UFC Trigg moved up to middleweight and has had quite a run of success, going 7-2 in such organizations as Pride, Icon, HDnet Fights, Sengoku, and Strikeforce. Trigg, during that time, defeated such highly touted fighters as Jason Mayhem Miller and Kazuo Misaki.

No specific date has been announced for 'Twinkle Toes' return to the Octagon, but it is expected that his first fight back will take place sometime in the late fall or early winter.
