Two reports surfaced in the last 24 hours indicating that the UFC has signed two more European-based fighters.

First, our friends at MMAjunkie.com noticed a report on the German website groundandpound.de that French lightweight fighter Samy Schiavo has signed a four-fight contract with the UFC.

UFC Daily is also reporting that the UFC has signed Croatian light heavyweight prospect Goran Reljic.

Mike,

Here’s a HL vid of Schiavo, he’s a former French TKD champ:

I don’t know much about Reljic at all.

Want to see Dan Hardy, Any Decent Heavyweight or Middleweight for that matter. Hey, Maybe Alexander Emelianko!

Adam–

Thanks for the link. Schiavo looks like he has credible skills. Those high spinning kicks could be trouble for him in the UFC, though.
