ike Chiapetta at MMAFighting.com brings word of a heavyweight addition to the next UFC on Fox card, scheduled for January 28th in Chicago. Chicago native, Mike Russow, will face Norwegian grappling specialist, Jon Olav Einemo, according to the report:

Einemo is back with the promotion and will take on Mike Russow as part of the upcoming UFC on FOX 2 card on January 28, MMA Fighting has learned. Sources confirmed that both sides have verbally agreed to the bout.
As Chiapetta mentions, Einemo is "back" after the UFC resolved their dispute with fighters managed by the Golden Glory team in Amsterdam. Other Golden Glory fighters, including Alistair Overeem and Marloes Coenen, were dropped by Zuffa several months ago after UFC president Dana White expressed displeasure with the way that managers were handling the fighters' finances, but the turmoil was cleared up soon after, and the fighters welcomed back into the Zuffa fold.

Russow, who is still employed as an officer in the Chicago Police Department, was supposed to face Dave Herman back in October, but the bout was scrapped after Herman tested positive for marijuana in a pre-fight screening. Russow hasn't fought since TKOing Jon Madsen in March, and hasn't lost a fight since early 2007.

I'll pray for Einemo. I hope he does not get the hammerfist.

Did Russow-Madsen happen before they started showing all the fights on Facebook? I can't remember it all but its almost impossible for me to imagine Russow TKOing someone with GnP. Maybe because he seemed so helpless against Duffee. Einemo showed pretty solid striking against Herman but he obviously has gas tank issues

Hey now, he has the hardest phantom punch in the sport today. Einemo is, as they say in ebonics, fucked.
