Undefeated Zach Micklewright has agreed to meet fellow lightweight Bart Palaszewski in August at WEC 50.

Mickey Dubberly of KO Dynasty, which represents Micklewright, today told MMAjunkie.com his client has signed for the fight. A source close to the organization confirmed the bout with MMAjunkie.com but said officials have not decided if it will be part of the night's Versus-televised main card.

WEC 50 takes place Aug. 18 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

With the rigors of the sport, many mixed-martial-arts fighters are likely to need medical care when their careers are over and Medicare isn't yet available.

Those hip, knee, back and shoulder problems are very likely to appear at
ages much younger than we expect to see among the "normal" non-combat
athlete population.

In his latest "Medical Beat," MMAjunkie.com medical columnist Dr. Johnny Benjamin gives his recommendation on how a simple $1 pay-per-view increase could provide millions in healthcare for the retired fighters who will need it most.

The current 11th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" recently was thrown into disarray when coach Tito Ortiz announced an upcoming spinal-fusion surgery that forced him out of a planned fight with fellow coach Chuck Liddell at UFC 115.

Ortiz considers the procedure a speed bump in his fighting career. But should it be a permanent roadblock?

In our latest "Ask the Fight Doc" installment, MMAjunkie.com medical columnist Dr. Johnny Benjamin discusses the limited literature on spinal-fusion surgeries and whether fighters who undergo the procedure should compete again.

After a solid but unsuccessful lightweight tournament loss to UFC veteran Roger Huerta, Chad Hinton gets a second shot at a first Bellator win when he meets Daniel Straus next month at Bellator 23.

The two Cincinnati-based fighters have been booked for the preliminary card of the June 24 show.

MMAjunkie.com editor-in-chief Dann Stupp reported the bout in today's "MMA Insider" column for the Dayton Daily News.
