UFC 115: Tyson Griffin vs Evan Dunham on tap for June 12
Written By: Jesse Holland (MMAmania.com)
Surging lightweight contender Tyson Griffin (14-2) is in talks to take on undefeated prospect Evan Dunham (10-0) at the upcoming UFC 115 event scheduled for the General Motors Place in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, on June 12, according to MMAWeekly.
The embattled Griffin finally notched himself a finish inside the Octagon after knocking off Hermes Franca at UFC 103 on Sept. 19 in Dallas. The talented Xtreme Couture product is the winner of a staggering five “Fight of the Night” bonuses but had gone to a decision in seven straight bouts dating back to 2006 and taking heat from fans and media alike in his inability to seal the deal — despite going 6-2 during that span.
The veteran lightweight seemed to be keeping himself out of serious title consideration with his inability to finish, something likely to be forgotten — and quickly — if he can make it two stoppages in a row with a premature ending against the crafty grappler.
