Kenny Florian has agreed to face Evan Dunham, likely at UFC 127 on Feb. 5, Florian announced on Thursday night’s edition of ESPN’s MMA Live.
The bout will feature two highly ranked lightweights seeking to avoid two-fight losing streaks.
Florian came out on the wrong side of a judges decision to Gray Maynard in a recent No. 1 contenders fight at UFC 118, while Dunham lost in a very controversial split decision to former champ Sean Sherk at UFC 119 in September.
