Four months after he put Mike Swick to sleep at UFC 109 (http://www.cagepotato.com/ufc-109-live-results-commentary-and-old-guy-jokes-galore) — thereby going up 2-1 in his one-man assault on the American Kickboxing Academy (http://www.akakickbox.com/) — welterweight rising star Paulo Thiago (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Paulo_Thiago) will step into the cage at UFC 115 (http://mmajunkie.com/news/18236/martin-kampmann-vs-paulo-thiago-in-the-works-for-ufc-115-in-june.mma?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mmajunkie+%28MMAjunkie.com+Fe ed%29&utm_content=Google+Reader) (June 12th, tentatively in Vancouver (http://www.mmamania.com/2010/3/3/1334681/report-ufc-115-from-vancouver)) against highly regarded contender Martin Kampmann (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Martin_Kampmann). "The Hitman" is coming off a first-round submission victory over Jacob Volkmann (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Jacob_Volkmann) in January, and was slated to take on Ben Saunders at UFC 111, but lost a large piece of his face during training (http://www.cagepotato.com/axe-wound-day-kampmann-out-ufc-111-monster-gash-ellenberger-replace). Coincidentally, Thiago also holds a win over Volkmann, who has been absolutely thrown to the wolves during his brief time with the UFC.
(FYI, "Christmas" Volkmann will have his win-or-GTFO match against Ronnys Torres at UFC Fight Night: Florian vs. Gomi (http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail.Home&eid=2897) on March 31st.)
UFC 115 will be headlined by Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz, and is expected to feature Mirko Cro Cop vs. Pat Barry, Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel (http://www.cagepotato.com/headkick-lovers-rejoice-pat-barry-vs-cro-cop-being-targeted-ufc-115), Tyson Griffin vs. Evan Dunham (http://www.cagepotato.com/when-good-friends-trade-bad-intentions), and Mac Danzig (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Mac_Danzig) continuing his slow road back to contendership against Matt Wiman (http://mmajunkie.com/news/18237/matt-wiman-vs-mac-danzig-expected-for-ufc-115-in-vancouver.mma?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mmajunkie+%28MMAjunkie.com+Fe ed%29&utm_content=Google+Reader).
