August 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Xtreme Couture light heavyweight Alex Schoenauer (14-9 MMA, 0-1 UFC), a cast member on the original season of "The Ultimate Fighter," may soon be stepping back into the octagon.

The IFL veteran recently signed with the WEC as a late replacement for Mark Munoz in a Sept. 10 WEC 36 bout against Steve Steinbeiss.

Schoenauer today told MMAjunkie.com that it is the first of several planned bouts under the Zuffa LLC banner. With the WEC dropping its 205-pound division, Schoenauer said his future fights will take place in the UFC.
