UFC on FOX 9: Demetrious Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez

UFC angles for Pettis-Grant, books Faber-McDonald at UFC on FOX 9

When the UFC returns to Sacramento for UFC on FOX 9, Anthony Pettis could defend his belt against T.J. Grant, while two fighters will end up getting a little "California Love" in a key bantamweight contest.

"UFC Tonight's" Ariel Helwani revealed Wednesday night that UFC officials were hoping to book UFC lightweight champion Pettis against top contender Grant and Sacramento resident Urijah Faber with slugger Michael McDonald of nearby Modesto, Calif., at the Dec. 14 event, which takes place at Sleep Train Arena (formerly ARCO Arena). The night's main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1.

UFC officials subsequently confirmed the Faber vs. McDonald bout will serve as the night's co-main event, though the potential Pettis vs. Grant fight has yet to be officially announced.

Pettis (17-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC), who closed out the WEC as that promotion's final champ, picked up the UFC belt with a stunning first-round stoppage of Benson Henderson at August's UFC 164 event. Prior to the win, Pettis had been slated for a 145-pound title shot against current champ Jose Aldo, and there was some talk "Showtime" may still drop to featherweight for that fight. However, for now it seems he'll stay at 155 pounds to face Grant.

Canadian Grant (21-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) was expected to challenge Henderson at UFC 164, but a concussion suffered in training forced him to withdraw from the event, and Pettis capitalized on the opportunity. Still, Grant's impressive five-fight win streak was enough to keep his position as No. 1 contender, and he'll still get a shot at the belt.

The bantamweight matchup will have big implications at 135 pounds, as Faber currently sits at No. 3 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA bantamweight rankings, and McDonald checks in right behind him at No. 4.

Both fighters were recently in action at the UFC's first-ever event on FOX Sports 1, where Faber picked up a gritty decision win over tough-as-nails Brazilian Iuri Alcantara and McDonald looked unbeatable in a stunning second-round stoppage of the always game Brad Pickett.

Faber (29-6 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was recently asked at a UFC Fight Club Q&A session about a potential meeting with McDonald, and he admitted he expected the matchup to come sooner or later.

"I'm down," Faber said. "I'm going to fight all these guys. Anybody that's at the top tier is going to be fighting me at some point. That's a fight that's going to happen.

"I actually watched McDonald's first fight when he was 16 years old, and I've always kind of had my eye on him. It's been impressive to watch him, and I'm willing to go up there and beat him up."

It turns out sooner was the correct choice.

The UFC hasn't hosted a show in Sacramento since 2007, when UFC 73 took place in the city and featured a championship headliner between then-middleweight champ Anderson Silva and challenger Nate Marquardt, who suffered a first-round TKO loss. Additionally, recently retired Sean Sherk defended his lightweight belt with a decision victory over Hermes Franca in the co-headliner, though both competitors ultimately failed their drug tests. Sherk was subsequently stripped of the title.

Travis Browne vs. Stipe Miocic targeted for December UFC event

A heavyweight bout between Travis Browne (15-1-1 MMA, 6-1-1 UFC) and Stipe Miocic (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) could be part of a December UFC card.

The potential matchup, revealed on Wednesday's edition of "UFC Tonight," could take place at either UFC on FOX 9 or UFC 168, though nothing has been finalized.

UFC on FOX 9 airs Dec. 14 on FOX from Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. UFC 168 airs Dec. 28 on pay-per-view from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Browne is ranked No. 7 and Miocic No. 11 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA heavyweight rankings.

Browne recently scored a come-from-behind victory over Alistair Overeem via front-kick knockout. He's now 2-0 with two knockouts since his lone career loss, which came in 2012 after he suffered a leg injury and eventual TKO to Antonio Silva. Overall, the 31-year-old Team Jackson-Winkeljohn fighter owns 13 stoppages (including 11 knockouts) in 15 career wins. He's won three "Fight of the Night" bonuses in the process.

Miocic also recently rebounded from his first career defeat, which came via TKO to Stefan Struve. At UFC 161 earlier this year, the Ohio-based Strong Style Fight Team fighter posted a pivotal decision victory over notable Roy Nelson, which gave the 31-year-old Miocic a boost in the rankings. Like Browne, Miocic has posted a high finishing rate (eight stoppages in 10 career wins) while racking up a pair of fight-night bonuses.

T.J. Grant ruled out of planned UFC on FOX 9 title fight with Anthony Pettis

T.J. Grant's medical woes have yet to be resolved, and he will not face Anthony Pettis at UFC on FOX 9.

The Canadian lightweight today revealed he's yet to be cleared after suffering a concussion in training and will not be eligible to challenge for the belt at the Dec. 14 event.

"Hey people," Grant wrote on Twitter. "Quick update. Unfortunately I won't be fighting Pettis on dec 14. I am still not yet 100% n can't commit to fight. UFC is going with someone else instead. It sucks but it is the best for both myself and the UFC.

"Please don't worry. Ill be back and if I gotta fight someone else to get back to where I wanna be then that's what I'm gonna do. I'm not bitter. Thanks."

Grant (21-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) was expected to challenge then-champ Benson Henderson at August's UFC 164, but a concussion suffered in training forced him to withdraw from the event, and Pettis capitalized on the opportunity. Still, Grant's impressive five-fight win streak was enough to keep his position as No. 1 contender, and he was still expected to get a shot at the belt.

UFC officials has planned on the bout taking place at UFC on FOX 9, which takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena (formerly ARCO Arena) in Sacramento, Calif.

UFC officials didn't immediately reveal who they'll tap for the title shot, but they may have to get creative with their matchmaking. Most of the company's top 155-pounders are currently booked in key contests, save for Josh Thomson, who currently sits at No. 7 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA lightweight rankings.

Thomson (20-5 MMA, 3-1 UFC) was requesting a shot at Pettis even before he held the belt, and "The Punk" looked fantastic in an April destruction of Nate Diaz.

Otherwise, the UFC may need to pull apart upcoming fights such as Gilbert Melendez vs. Diego Sanchez, Nate Diaz vs. Gray Maynard or Pat Healy vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov to find a logical opponent.

[Kemal]

Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson booked for UFC on FOX 9 headliner

T.J. Grant's loss will be Josh Thomson's gain.

With Grant medically unable to accept a planned title shot lightweight champ Anthony Pettis, Thomson will step in to challenge for the belt.

The UFC's change in plans was revealed on FOX Sports 1's "FOX Sports Live" shortly after Grant revealed on Twitter that he would be unable to be cleared in time for the UFC on FOX 9 event, which takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena (formerly ARCO Arena) in Sacramento, Calif. Pettis and Thomson will compete in the evening's headlining bout, which airs on FOX.

Thomson (20-5 MMA, 3-1 UFC) originally fought for the UFC in 2003 and picked up wins over Hermes Franca and Gerald Strebendt before suffering a memorable knockout loss to Yves Edwards at UFC 49.

Thomson would later fight for Strikeforce, where he went 9-3 in 12 appearances and held the promotion's lightweight belt for a little more than one year.

Thomson returned to the UFC in April and turned in a scintillating performance with a second-round stoppage of the always durable Nate Diaz. After the win, and when Benson Henderson was still the UFC lightweight champ, Thomson called for the fight with Pettis a sure-to-please matchup.

"I'll tell you right now, it's not going the distance," Thomson in July told MMAjunkie.com. "Stylistically, someone's getting knocked out. The fans will win with that fight."

Grant, who was originally expected to challenge for the title at UFC 164, was forced to withdraw from the bout after suffering a concussion in training. He was hoping to return in time to face Pettis in December. However, he'll remained sidelined for the time being and hope to still hold a No. 1 contender spot when he returns to action.

[Kemal]

Featherweights Chad Mendes vs. Nik Lentz slotted for UFC on FOX 9

Two top featherweight contenders have been targeted for a matchup at December's UFC on FOX 9 event.

Former title challenger Chad Mendes (15-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and surging contender Nik Lentz (24-5-2 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) will meet at the event. UFC officials confirmed the bout after an initial report from Bleacher Report.

UFC on FOX 9 takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The main card, including a recently announced headliner between lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and Josh Thomson, airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.

Mendes vs. Lentz will be part of the main card.

Mendes is currently ranked No. 2 and Lentz is No. 11 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA featherweight rankings.

If victorious, this could be Mendes' final bout before a second shot at the title. Since a loss to reigning champion Jose Aldo in 2012, the former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler has posted four consecutive knockout wins, the most recent coming against Darren Elkins and Clay Guida. The Aldo defeat, which came via first-round TKO (after a questionable cage-grab), remains the only loss of his career.

Lentz, who was scheduled to fight Dennis Bermudez at UFC Fight Night 31, instead will get a fight with much bigger stakes. Since a move down to featherweight, the former NCAA Division I wrestler is undefeated with wins over Eiji Mitsuoka, Diego Nunes and Hacran Dias. A victory over Mendes would be his highest-profile to date.

Scott Jorgensen drops to flyweight, meets Ian McCall at UFC on FOX 9

Onetime WEC and UFC bantamweight title challenger Scott Jorgensen is dropping to 125 pounds, and he'll meet Ian McCall in his flyweight debut.

UFC officials on Tuesday announced the new matchup, which takes place at "UFC on FOX 9: Pettis vs. Thomson," which is scheduled for Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif.

The evening's main card airs on FOX following prelims that air on FOX Sports 1 and stream on Facebook. The placement of the Jorgensen (14-7 MMA, 3-3 UFC) vs. McCall (12-4-1 MMA, 1-2-1 UFC) fight wasn't immediately announced.

Jorgensen has fought under the Zuffa banner since 2008, putting together a 7-3 record in the WEC before that promotion shuttered its doors and ceded its talent to the UFC. Jorgensen opened his octagon career with wins over Jeff Curran and Ken Stone but has since gone just 1-3, although the losses came to top-ranked fighters Urijah Faber, Eddie Wineland and Renan Barao and included two "Fight of the Night" performances.

Still, he'll get a fresh start at 125 pounds.

Meanwhile, McCall has been a part of the UFC's flyweight division since its inception. He struggled to get a win in his first three fights, suffering losses to top-ranked fighters Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson while also fighting to a draw with "Mighty Mouse" in that stretch. He rebounded at August's UFC 163 event, earning a "Fight of the Night" win over Iliarde Santos.

With the addition to the card, UFC on FOX 9 now includes:

Champ Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson - for UFC lightweight title
Urijah Faber vs. Michael McDonald
Nik Lentz vs. Chad Mendes
Scott Jorgensen vs. Ian McCall

Joe Lauzon vs. Mac Danzig joins UFC on FOX 9 lineup

Veteran lightweights Joe Lauzon (22-9 MMA, 9-6 UFC) and Mac Danzig (21-11-1 MMA, 5-7 UFC) have been scheduled for a meeting later this year at UFC on FOX 9.

UFC officials announced the bout overnight.

"UFC on FOX 9: Pettis vs. Thomson" takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.

It's not clear where Lauzon vs. Danzig, two veterans of "The Ultimate Fighter," will be placed on the lineup.

Although once in title contention, Lauzon now finds himself in a must-wins situation following back-to-back losses and three defeats in his past four fights. While one of the 155-pound division's most entertaining fighters and a fan favorite, his past two bouts – against Jim Miller and Michael Johnson – have ended in unanimous-decision losses.

Lauzon, who's won a UFC record 12 fight-night bonuses, now meets Danzig, who's also lost two straight and three of his past four. The three-time "Fight of the Night" winner most recently suffered a second-round TKO loss to Melvin Guillard. Prior to that, he suffered a narrow split-decision defeat to Takanori Gomi.

The latest UFC on FOX 9 card includes:

Champ Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson - for UFC lightweight title

Carlos Condit vs. Matt Brown added to UFC on FOX 9 in Sacramento

Former UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit (29-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) has gotten his wish: a fight with fellow contender Matt Brown (18-11 MMA, 11-5 UFC).

UFC officials today annnounced the bout, which takes place at UFC on FOX 9.

UFC on FOX 9 takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook. Condit vs. Brown is likely to be part of the main card.

Condit recently told MMAjunkie Radio he'd like to fight the surging Brown.

"He's been on a tear, and it'd be really exciting for the fans," Condit said.

Condit is ranked No. 3 and Brown is No. 9 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA welterweight rankings.

After losing a title-unification bout to champ Georges St-Pierre this past November at UFC 154, Condit then suffered a decision loss to top contender Johny Hendricks. But the former WEC champ, who won the UFC interim title with a victory over Nick Diaz, recently rebounded with a TKO victory over Martin Kampmann in UFC Fight Night 27's headliner.

Brown, once a middle-of-the-road welterweight, has reeled off five straight UFC wins and stopped four of his opponents via knockout. Brown's past two appearances have also won him bonuses for "Fight of the Night" and "Knockout of the Night."

Brown was briefly linked to a bout with Tarec Saffiedine, but the final Strikeforce welterweight champion is still recovering from an injury.

The latest UFC on FOX 9 card now includes:

Champ Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson - for UFC lightweight title
Urijah Faber vs. Michael McDonald
Matt Brown vs. Carlos Condit
Nik Lentz vs. Chad Mendes
Mac Danzig vs. Joe Lauzon

Kelvin Gastelum vs. Court McGee added to UFC on FOX 9 in December

A welterweight matchup between a pair of "The Ultimate Fighter" winners is the latest addition to the lineup for UFC on FOX 9, as Kelvin Gastelum meets Court McGee.

UFC officials today announced the new booking.

Featuring a lightweight title fight between champ Anthony Pettis and challenger Josh Thomson, UFC on FOX 9 takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.

The placement of the Gastelum (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) vs. McGee (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) bout is not yet known, but it is likely to serve on the preliminary card.

The 21-year-old Gastelum was the recent surprise winner of "The Ultimate Fighter 17," upsetting heavily favored Uriah Hall in the season's live finale and capturing the middleweight tournament title. He promptly dropped to 170 pounds and earned an impressive first-round submission finish of Brian Melancon in August.

Meanwhile, McGee also won a middleweight tournament, submitting Kris McCray to win "The Ultimate Fighter 11" title in 2010. McGee would go on to post a 3-2 mark in the division before electing to drop to 170 pounds. Since the switch, he's earned back-to-back decision wins in fights with Robert Whittaker and Josh Neer.

With the addition to the card, UFC on FOX 9 now includes:

Champ Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson - for UFC lightweight title
Urijah Faber vs. Michael McDonald
Matt Brown vs. Carlos Condit

John Moraga meets Darren Uyenoyama at UFC on FOX 9 in Sacramento

The most recent UFC flyweight title challenger will try to get back on track this December.

John Moraga (13-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) will meet Darren Uyenoyama (8-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) when the UFC returns to network television for UFC on FOX 9. UFC officials recently announced the new booking.

The UFC returns to Sacramento in December for UFC on FOX 9, which will be its third visit to the city, but first since 2007. Featuring a lightweight title fight between champ Anthony Pettis and challenger Josh Thomson, UFC on FOX 9 takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California's capital city. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.

Moraga in July was submitted by 125-pound champion Demetrious Johnson in a main-event title fight at UFC on FOX 8. That setback snapped a seven-fight winning streak for the Arizona-based 29-year-old. He had won his first two UFC fights to get a title shot by stopping Ulysses Gomez, then submitting Chris Cariaso.

Uyenoyama will be looking to get back in the win column, himself, and he'll be doing so not far from his San Francisco home. In April at UFC on FOX 7, he was stopped in the second round by Joseph Benavidez, who in November will once again challenge for the flyweight title. The loss to Benavidez snapped a three-fight winning streak for Uyenoyama, who turns 34 next month. His UFC debut was a decision win over Norfumi Yamamoto. Then, after an 11-month layoff, he submitted Phil Harris about a year ago. His loss to Benavidez was his first in three years.

In addition to that fight, the card features several members of Sacramento's famed Team Alpha Male as Urijah Faber meets Michael McDonald, Chad Mendes takes on Nik Lentz and Danny Castillo fights Edson Barboza.

WIth the addition, the UFC on FOX 9 lineup now includes:

Champ Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson - for UFC lightweight title
Urijah Faber vs. Michael McDonald
Matt Brown vs. Carlos Condit
Nik Lentz vs. Chad Mendes
Edson Barboza vs. Danny Castillo
Mac Danzig vs. Joe Lauzon

Cody McKenzie returns to lightweight, meets Sam Stout at UFC on FOX 9

The card for the UFC's return to Sacramento is one step closer to being complete with the addition of a lightweight bout to the card.

Cody McKenzie (14-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) will return to 155 pounds after a two-fight stint at featherweight and will meet Sam Stout (19-9-1 MA, 8-8 UFC) on the show.

UFC officials today announced the fighters will fight at December's UFC on FOX 9 event.

Featuring a lineup that includes a headlining contest between UFC lightweight champ Anthony Pettis and challenger Josh Thomson, UFC on FOX 9 takes place on Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif.

The evening's main card airs on FOX following prelims that air on FOX Sports 1 and stream on Facebook. The McKenzie-Stout fight will be part of the night's preliminary card.

McKenzie got back in the win column in April with a unanimous decision win over Leonard Garcia at UFC 159 in New Jersey. Prior to that, he suffered a 31-second TKO loss to Chad Mendes at UFC 148 in his featherweight debut. The "TUF 12" veteran is best known for his modified "McKenzietine" guillotine choke, which he has used in 11 of his 14 career wins. His win over Garcia was the first time he had gone the distance in his MMA career.

Stout will be hoping for a return to getting his hand raised after a "Fight of the Night" performance against James Krause at UFC 161 in June. The back-and-forth fight ended when Krause forced Stout to tap with just 13 seconds left in the fight, and Krause picked up a double bonus for the win in his UFC debut. Prior to that loss, Stout beat Caros Fodor by split decision in February. He hasn't lost two straight since 2008, but it's also been more than two years since his last winning streak.

With the addition to the card, the UFC on FOX 9 lineup now includes:

Champ Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson - for UFC lightweight title
Urijah Faber vs. Michael McDonald
Matt Brown vs. Carlos Condit
Nik Lentz vs. Chad Mendes
Mac Danzig vs. Joe Lauzon
Scott Jorgensen vs. Ian McCall
Edson Barboza vs. Danny Castillo
Kelvin Gastelum vs. Court McGee
John Moraga vs. Darren Uyenoyama

Pat Healy vs. Jamie Varner added to December's UFC on FOX 9 event

An already stacked UFC on FOX 9 card gets even deeper, as Pat Healy (31-16 MMA, 0-2 UFC) meets former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner (21-8-1 MMA, 3-3 UFC).

UFC officials today announced the new pairing.

Featuring a lineup that includes a headlining contest between UFC lightweight champ Anthony Pettis and challenger Josh Thomson, UFC on FOX 9 takes place on Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif.

The evening's main card airs on FOX following prelims that air on FOX Sports 1 and stream on Facebook. The Healy-Varner fight will be part of the night's preliminary card.

The durable Healy will try for a fourth time to get an official UFC win. In April, he handily defeated perennial contender Jim Miller, but the result of the contest was overturned after Healy tested positive for marijuana. Most recently, he lost a unanimous decision to fast-rising prospect Khabib Nurmagomedov at September's UFC 165 event.

Meanwhile, Varner looks to rebound from a split-decision loss to Gleison Tibau at August's UFC 164 event. The former WEC champ in 2012 returned to the UFC's octagon for a second stint in the promotion and has alternated wins and losses in his four appearances.

With the addition to the card, the UFC on FOX 9 lineup now includes:

John Dodson vs. Scott Jorgensen joins UFC on FOX 9 lineup

John Dodson (15-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) will officially welcome former bantamweight Scott Jorgensen (14-7 MMA, 3-3 UFC) to the flyweight division when the 125-pounders clash at UFC on FOX 9.

UFC officials today announced the fight.

UFC on FOX 9 takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The main card airs on FOX, but FOX Sports 1 and MMAjunkie.com carry the prelims, which include Dodson vs. Jorgensen.

As MMAjunkie.com first reported, Jorgensen initially was slated to fight Ian McCall (12-4-1 MMA, 1-2-1 UFC) at the event, but "Uncle Creepy" was forced off the card with a recent hand injury.

Dodson fought just 10 days ago at UFC 166, where he knocked out Darrell Montague. It moved his record to 4-1 in the UFC, where his only loss came in a January title fight with champ Demetrious Johnson. Overall, the Team Jackson-Winkeljohn fighter is 6-1 in his past seven fights, which included winning "The Ultimate Fighter 14" in 2011.

Jorgensen, meanwhile, has fought under the Zuffa banner since 2008. He put together a 7-3 record in the WEC before the promotion shuttered its doors and ceded its talent to the UFC. Jorgensen opened his UFC career with wins over Jeff Curran and Ken Stone but has since gone just 1-3, though the losses came to top-ranked bantamweights Urijah Faber, Eddie Wineland and Renan Barao. The skid also included two "Fight of the Night" performances.

Matt Brown injured, fight vs. Carlos Condit scrapped from UFC on FOX 9

Brown, once a middle-of-the-road welterweight, has reeled off six straight UFC wins and stopped five of his opponents via knockout. Brown’s past two appearances have also won him bonuses for “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout of the Night.”

After losing a title-unification bout to champ Georges St-Pierre at UFC 154, Condit then suffered a decision loss to top contender Johny Hendricks. But the former WEC champ, who won the UFC’s interim title with a victory over Nick Diaz, recently rebounded with a TKO victory over Martin Kampmann in UFC Fight Night 27′s headliner.

Condit earlier this fall told MMAjunkie Radio he’d like to fight the surging Brown. “He’s been on a tear, and it’d be really exciting for the fans,” Condit said.

Mac Danzig vs. Joe Lauzon promoted to UFC on FOX 9 main card; new 11-bout lineup set

With Matt Brown’s back injury forcing the late scratch of a bout between “The Immortal” and Carlos Condit, a lightweight matchup between Mac Danzig and Joe Lauzon has been promoted to the UFC on FOX 9 main card.

Additionally, the lightweight bout between Cody McKenzie and Sam Stout that was originally expected to take place on the MMAjunkie-stream early prelims has not been moved to the six-fight FOX Sports 1-broadcast preliminary card.

Featuring a flyweight title rematch between current champ Demetrious Johnson and challenger Joseph Benavidez, UFC on FOX 9 takes place Dec. 14 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif.

Although once in title contention, Lauzon now finds himself in a must-wins situation following back-to-back losses and three defeats in his past four fights. While one of the 155-pound division’s most entertaining fighters and a fan favorite, his past two bouts – against Jim Miller and Michael Johnson – have ended in unanimous-decision losses.

Lauzon (22-9 MMA, 9-6 UFC) , who’s won a UFC record 12 fight-night bonuses, now meets Danzig (21-11-1 MMA, 5-7 UFC) \, who’s also lost two straight and three of his past four. The three-time “Fight of the Night” winner most recently suffered a second-round TKO loss to Melvin Guillard. Prior to that, he suffered a narrow split-decision defeat to Takanori Gomi.

McKenzie (14-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) got back in the win column in April with a unanimous decision win over Leonard Garcia at UFC 159 in New Jersey. Prior to that, he suffered a 31-second TKO loss to Chad Mendes at UFC 148 in his featherweight debut. The “TUF 12″ veteran is best known for his modified “McKenzietine” guillotine choke, which he has used in 11 of his 14 career wins. His win over Garcia was the first time he had gone the distance in his MMA career.

Stout (19-9-1 MA, 8-8 UFC) will be hoping for a return to getting his hand raised after a “Fight of the Night” performance against James Krause at UFC 161 in June. The back-and-forth fight ended when Krause forced Stout to tap with just 13 seconds left in the fight, and Krause picked up a double bonus for the win in his UFC debut. Prior to that loss, Stout beat Caros Fodor by split decision in February. He hasn’t lost two straight since 2008, but it’s also been more than two years since his last winning streak.
