Joe Stevenson vs. Takanori Gomi possible, not official, for UFC on Versus 2

A lightweight bout between Joe Stevenson and Takaonori Gomi is possible but not set for UFC on Versus 2.

Despite reports that the fight is a done deal, a source close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that bout agreements have not been distributed and that verbal agreements are not necessarily in place for both fighters.

If signed, the fight will grace the main card of the Versus-televised card, which is expected for Aug. 1 at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City. The Utah Athletic Commission earlier this week gave the green-light for the UFC to hold the event, and a formal announcement is expected from the organization shortly.
