Seth Baczynski
It looks as if a welterweight bout is all but signed as ‘The Polish Pistola’ Seth Baczynski (15-6) has told MMAjunkie.com that he and undefeated fighter ‘Classy’ Lance Benoist (6-0) have agreed to meet at the upcoming UFC on FX 3 event in June.
UFC on FX 3 is expected to take place on June 8, 2012 but does not yet have a venue named for the event. Fans are still currently voting for the host city under the Hometown Throwdown contest at UFC.com. It’s likely that this bout will end up on the prelim card on either Facebook or FUEL TV.
Baczynski has made a successful return to the UFC with two straight submission wins since his debut, and dismissal, aftr the TUF 11 Finale event. His last win came in November, sinking in a guillotine choke on Matt Brown at UFC 139, and also used a rear-naked choke to submit Clay Harvison at UFN 25 last September. ‘The Polish Pistola’ has currently won four straight.
Benoist made his UFC debut at the same UFN 25 show in New Orleans, earning a decision against Matt Riddle as well as the “Fight of the Night” bonus. It was ‘Classy’s’ six straight win as a pro, having ended all five of his previous matches by first round submission (four) or by knockout (one).
