Two former winners of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, Joe “Daddy” Stevenson (31-11) winner of the Season 2 welterweights, and Season 6 winner Mac Danzig (19-8-1) will step into the octagon on Dec. 11 as part of the upcoming UFC 124: St-Pierre vs. Koscheck event.
The bout was first reported by MMAMania.com earlier on Wednesday.
Stevenson is looking to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to George Sotiropoulos back at UFC 110 in Australia. Both men earned the “Fight of the Night” honors in that bout, something Stevenson has earned in 3 of his last four fights. “Daddy” had won two straight over Spencer Fisher at UFC 104 and Nate Diaz at the TUF 9 Finales.
Danzig could be looking at expulsion from the UFC if he loses to Stevenson. His record of late is a poor 1-4 having been choked out by Matt Wiman at UFC 115 in his last fight. He did earn a win over Justin Buchholz at UFC 109 by unanimous decision which certainly saved his career at that time, having dropped three straight to Jim Miller, Josh Neer, and Clay Guida.
UFC 124: St-Pierre vs. Koscheck is set for Dec. 12th at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and will mark the promotions second appearance in La Belle Province this year.
