Eddie Wineland
Officials with the Ultimate Fighting Championship Tweeted another bantamweight matchup Friday night (@ufc) pitting former WEC champ Eddie Wineland (18-8-1) against former WEC contender Scott ‘Young Guns’ Jorgensen (13-5).
The two fighters are set to meet at the upcoming UFC on FX 3 event, which is expected to take place on June 8, 2012 with fans voting for the host city through the Hometown Showdown contest.
Wineland is still looking for his first win with the UFC having gone 0-2 since joining the promotion last year. His last bout came in August 2011, a decision loss to Joseph Benavidez at the UFC on Versus 5 show. He debuted with the UFC one year ago at the UFC 128 show, losing a decision to current No. 1 contender Urijah Faber. That loss ended a four fight win streak.
Jorgensen lost his last bout, losing to Renan Barão at UFC 143 this past February. Previous to the defeat, ‘Young Guns’ had won two straight beating Jeff Curran by decision UFC 137 and Ken Stone by KO at the TUF 13 Finale. Jorgensen’s last bout with the WEC place in December 2010 at WEC 53, a bantamweight title loss to Dominick Cruz.
