Two former Ultimate Fighter winners are set to clash at UFC 124 in Montreal on March 24.
Mac Danzig, who won Season Six of The Ultimate Fighter, and Efrain Escudero, who won Season Eight of the UFC’s reality show, are set to square off in a lightweight bout, the UFC announced on Thursday.
Danzig will be fighting for the first time since losing to Matt Wiman on Oct. 1. That loss was Danzig’s fifth in his last seven fights, and there was some talk that Danzig would be released from the promotion. But he’ll get at least one more shot to prove he belongs in the Octagon against Escudero, who’s also on thin ice with the UFC: Escudero was released by the UFC in 2010 before getting another chance at UFC 141, where he lost to Jacob Volkmann. The loser of Danzig-Escudero is probably done in the UFC.
The Danzig vs. Escudero fight is one of several the UFC announced on Thursday.
Others include:
— UFC 145 will also feature Matt Wiman vs. Mark Bocek in a lightweight fight.
— Shane Roller will take on Michael Johnson as part of the UFC on Fox 2 undercard. Johnson had been slated to face Cody McKenzie, but McKenzie dropped out with an injury and Roller has taken his place.
— T.J. Dillashaw will return to the Octagon for the first time since losing to John Dodson at the Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale when he squares off with Walel Watson at the UFC on Fuel event on February 15. The same card will feature a featherweight fight between Jonathan Brookins and Vagner Rocha.
— Dustin Poirier has a new opponent for UFC 143 after both Erik Koch and Ricardo Lamas dropped out with injuries. Poirier will now face UFC newcomer Max Holloway.
— Jake Hecht will face T.J. Waldburger at UFC on FX 2 in Australia.

Four fighters from Saturday’s UFC on Versus 6 card in Washington, D.C., added $65,000 bonus checks to their take-home pay after the show.
Stefan Struve, Anthony Johnson, Matt Wiman and Mac Danzig each took home post-fight bonus awards for their performances in the final UFC event on the Versus channel. The post-fight awards were announced by UFC president Dana White after the card.
The $65,000 total equals the largest amount for a UFC show on either Versus or Spike, tying the $65,000 bonus awards that were handed out after UFC on Versus 5 in Milwaukee in August. UFC on Versus 6 was the promotion’s debut in the nation’s capital.
Struve, the tallest heavyweight in the UFC, fought the shortest heavyweight in what became a fun kickboxing bout. But when Struve got the fight to the ground and locked in a triangle in the co-main event, Barry used his power to muscle Struve to the sky for a massive slam with the triangle still locked in. Struve though, held the hold, sank it in even tighter and forced Barry to tap, giving Struve the Submission of the Night bonus. It was Barry’s second straight loss, the first losing streak of his career. In June, after nearly stopping Cheick Kongo, Kongo pulled off an epic comeback knockout victory.
“He kept me at bay with his kicks because those were landing hard and will definitely leave bruises tomorrow,” Struve said after the win. “I was eventually able to get him in the [choke], and once I locked it in I wasn’t letting it go. When he slammed me, I was able to put my arm down to catch myself and sink the submission in deeper.”
Johnson won Knockout of the Night for his head-kick finish of Charlie Brenneman on the main card. Though Brenneman popped back up quickly after Johnson’s left kick to the face, referee Mario Yamasaki had already stepped in to shut the fight down, and the official decision was a TKO for Johnson.
“I hit him hard quite a few times in a row and he didn’t look like he was all there,” Johnson said. “I landed that head kick and put him on the canvas. He looked done to me, but if that kick hadn’t have done it, the punches that would have come afterwards would have.”
And Wiman and Danzig rematched after a controversial ending to their first fight in June 2010 – and the reboot was worth the wait. The two battled for three rounds of back-and-forth that earned them Fight of the Night, with Wiman taking a unanimous 29-28 decision. At UFC 115, Wiman won when Yves Lavigne stopped the fight, believing Danzig was out from a choke. He was not, and it’s taken 16 months for the rematch, which was scheduled once but delayed with a Danzig injury.
“Mac did fantastic tonight and has nothing to be ashamed of, because I’ve been on that side of things too,” Wiman said. “But I can’t deny that it feels good to be on this side of things. You really never know what the judges are going think, and I’m just happy it fell to me this time.”
Struve got serious competition from Paul Sass, who submitted Michael Johnson with a heel hook on the preliminary card. Sass stayed unbeaten with the submission and now has 11 of his 12 career wins by tapout. And Wiman-Danzig got competition from the main event bantamweight title fight between champion Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson. But it was likely Cruz’s large amount of time spent keeping Johnson pinned along the fence that kept them from the bonus.

The first time Mac Danzig and Matt Wiman fought, they went less than two minutes before the referee wrongly stopped the fight, incorrectly believing Danzig had been choked out. When Danzig and Wiman got their long-awaited rematch on Saturday night, it went the full 15 minutes — with Wiman winning a unanimous decision after a great back-and-forth battle.
The fight was very close throughout, but as it wore on Wiman seemed to be the fresher and more effective fighter, and all three judges scored it 29-28 for Wiman, who cut Danzig with some sharp elbows.
Wiman said afterward that he was nervous about whether the judges would see the fight for him, but thankful they did.
“It feels good to be on the other end,” Wiman said. “I’m glad I got it this time. … I’ve felt like I’ve dominated and the judges have seen it differently before, so you never frickin’ know.”
The win improves Wiman’s record to 14-6, and he has now won four of his last five. Danzig, the former Ultimate Fighter winner, drops to 20-9-1, and he has now lost five of his last seven.
“I thought my shots that stumbled him would have been enough in the judges’ eyes for the victory,” Danzig said. “But I guess he landed more and his rally in the third when he was on top secured it for him. He was just more active than me throughout the fight. I can’t complain about the decision … it’s my job to finish the fight.”
Both Wiman and Danzig brought it in a very good fight to open Saturday night’s UFC on Versus broadcast.
This is the UFC on Versus 6 live blog for Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman, a lightweight bout on tonight’s UFC Live card from the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
The bout is a rematch from a controversial fight at UFC 115 in June 2010 that Wiman (13-6, 7-4 UFC) won by submission when Yves Lavigne stopped the fight, though Danzig (20-8-1, 4-4 UFC) never tapped or lost consciousness. The two were scheduled to meet three months later, but Danzig was forced off Fight Night 22 with an injury.
Danzig, the TUF 6 winner, returns for the first time since a knockout win over Joe Stevenson at UFC 124 in December. Wiman had a three-fight winning streak snapped at UFC 132 with a decision loss to Dennis Siver.
Round 1: The rematch is ready. Wiman takes the center and opens with an inside leg kick, then gets aggressive with some punches. Danzig ties him up and lands some nice uppercuts. Then lands some knees in the clinch. Body-head from Danzig, and he pushes Wiman to the cage. Wiman answers with elbows, and Danzig throws a head kick that is on the money – but is caught by Wiman. Wiman takes the fight to the ground and has Danzig pressed against the cage. But Danzig works his way back and looks for a choke while Wiman holds on to Danzig’s left leg. Guillotine attempt from Danzig, and when he can’t hold on he starts lobbing several strikes to Wiman’s head that find the mark. Danzig’s last fight won Knockout of the Night. Wiman comes with a combination that pushes Danzig to the cage. Traded elbows in the center, and Danzig looks for a headlock. Right hand, then left hook from Wiman. Danzig goes body-head yet again, but Wiman backs him up with a knee. Wiman with a left kick then a shot to the body has Danzig on the fence. Danzig is cut around his nose. Nice right from Wiman is answered with a kick to the body by Danzig. Wiman gestures to a backpedaling Danzig to come forward. More body shots from Danzig. It’s a pretty even first round – very tough to score. Since going 10-10 is taking the easy way out, we’ll give a very close 10-9 first round to Wiman.
Round 2:
Wiman takes the middle first and eats a leg kick. Big right from Wiman misses, and Danzig ties him up and lands some body shots. Wiman looks for elbows in close and hits some while eating some Danzig short uppercuts. Wiman takes the fight to the wall, then scores a big takedown into half guard when they move back to the middle. Danzig briefly gets to side control before Wiman gets back to full guard. Wiman throws up a triangle attempt and tries to work on an armbar. He’s got it. Danzig tries to get out of this thing, but Wiman’s got him good. Danzig goes low to keep the leverage away, and he is able to break the hold. He lands some good ground and pound shortly after, then gets to half guard. Again Wiman gets an arm and tries for a kimura. Again Danzig gets out and lands some ground and pound. Wiman gets back to his feet, then eats a short flurry from Danzig. With a minute left, Wiman comes forward and lands some good shots. Leg kick from Wiman. He shoots, but misses and Danzig counters with some good strikes. It’s a close second round, with Wiman scoring points for the submission attempts, but Danzig scoring on the takedown and getting the better of the striking game. Close again, but we’ll give the second to Danzig 10-9.
Round 3:
Superman punch from Wiman misses, and he throws a kick afterward. Nice uppercut from Wiman after a Danzig combo in the clinch. Wiman appears to be coming forward more, and that may wind up being the difference if this fight goes to the judges. Nice elbows from Wiman in the clinch as they trade position on the cage. It’s pretty clear this is tonight’s leading Fight of the Night candidate so far. Wiman’s takedown attempt is stopped, and he counters with a big right to the body. Danzig’s corner yells that Wiman is gassing, but Danzig looks tired, too. More elbows from Wiman, and the two trade looping flurries before breaking. Wiman shoots for a single, drops down, and now has Danzig on top in half guard. Wiman is bleeding from his nose, and Danzig is going for Wiman’d back. With half a round to go, Danzig takes Wiman’s back and tries to get hooks in for a choke. But Wiman defends, shakes him off and Wiman winds up on top in half guard – that may have been the most critical point in this fight. Big elbows from Wiman on the ground. Danzig trying to get up but it’s not happening yet. Danzig’s face right now is the second worst of the night after Keith Wisniewski on the prelims. Danzig trying to get up with a wall walk, and finally does. He’s got 35 seconds to make something happen. The two trade elbows and short uppercuts on the fence. Wiman drops down looking for another takedown. Danzig throws on a guillotine at the end of the round, but Wiman gives thumbs up to the ref that he’s OK. Danzig has it for only five seconds or so before the final horn sounds. It’s another great round, very exciting, and likely a Fight of the Night winner. But we’ll give the third round to Wiman 10-9 and the fight to him 29-28.

We’re just a few hours away from the UFC on Versus 6 event, and there are plenty of questions, concerns, and issues to sort through. Here, in no particular order, are a few of them.
I. Will this be the breakthrough fight Dominick Cruz needs? He’s the UFC’s least celebrated champion, mostly because mainstream fans haven’t seen enough of him yet. The UFC seems to think he can’t sell pay-per-views without Urijah Faber’s help, so Cruz gets stuck on a cable TV fight card smack in between two pay-per-view event weekends. It’s not the best coming out party you could hope for, but a lot depends on what he can make of it. If Cruz can put on another of his frantic, indefatigable performances — and this time, maybe even finish his opponent — he might finally get the attention he deserves. If he simply dominates Demetrious Johnson for the full five rounds, well, it’s hard to make much of a highlight reel out of that.
II. This fight is more important for Pat Barry than it is for Stefan Struve. Both are coming off losses and could really use a rebound win, but they’re not exactly in the same boat. Barry is 32 years old — nine years older than Struve — and has yet to string two victories together in the UFC. Ever since his debut he’s followed a win one, lose one pattern, usually beating the lesser-knowns and then losing the big ones, which doesn’t exactly impress the bosses. To further up the stakes, he’s coming off his first ever knockout loss. Though he previously said it had helped remove his fear of the KO, that’s the kind of thing that has been known to mess with a man’s mind. Now that he knows what it’s like to be the one waking up on his back, will he still feel like wading into those striking exchanges with the much larger Struve? Not that either of them would like to lose two straight, but Barry’s career has much less time left on the clock. Maybe Struve can wait, but Barry needs to make it happen now.
III. Who hypes the hype-man? If the name Mike Easton sounds familiar, it might be because you know him as the guy who’s always standing over Dominick Cruz’s shoulder, reminding him and everyone within shouting distance who the champ is. I admit, the man’s enthusiasm is infectious. We could all use a guy like him to pump up our egos and get us through a tough day. But now that he’s on the same card as Cruz, and getting back into action for the first time since 2009, who’s going to do the shouting? Probably still Easton, actually. He’ll just get to do it from inside the cage this time.
IV. Does Charlie Brenneman have a “Rocky story” sequel in him? “The Spaniard” got to be the hero when he stepped up on short notice and derailed Rick Story’s hype train, but yesterday’s glory fades quickly in this business. The Anthony Johnson fight is tougher because a) Brenneman’s no longer in a situation where he has nothing to lose, and b) “Rumble” has the exact combination of wrestling skills and knockout power that could prove to be a nightmare for a fight like Brenneman. This one may not follow a movie script outline, but it’s no less important for his career.
V. The last time Josh Neer won a fight in the UFC was February 7, 2009. He submitted Mac Danzig, then lost two straight and went on a tour of the minor leagues. Now the journeyman is back as a welterweight, and facing fellow wanderer Keith Wisniewski, who lost a decision in his sole UFC appearance back in 2005. It’s a situation where, if Neer can’t beat Wisniewski, he probably doesn’t belong in the UFC. Then again, you could say the same thing from the other side just as easily.
VI. Barry’s best chance against Struve? Since getting eye-to-eye with the Dutchman requires a little outside help, Barry might have to target his legs, which are at least more within his range. Though certain judges remain convinced that leg kicks can’t end a fight, Barry actually has three career victories that way, including his brutal win over Dan Evensen in his UFC debut. I’m not sure I’d want to put all my faith into my ability to chop away at Struve’s thighs like a lumberjack going to work on an angry redwood, but what else can he do? Unless he gets a boost from the referee, reaching Struve’s chin won’t be so easy.
VII. Hey, remember that whole controversial stoppage thing from the first Mac Danzig-Matt Wiman fight? Yeah, well, now they’re meeting again to settle it, just shy of a year and a half later. Finally, you can stop losing sleep wondering how this match-up would have turned out. I know it was really eating at you.
VIII. Don’t forget about Paul Sass Not unless you want to get choked. The Brit has a nasty submissions game, and is particularly dangerous off his back. He’s also pretty creative about getting there, so it’s not simply a matter of deciding not to take him down. The youngster took a lot of people by surprise in his debut at UFC 120, so it should be interesting to see if Michael Johnson has done his homework on how to avoid getting entangled in that mess. You go to the mat with this man at your peril. And with the way he uses that triangle choke, you’re never truly safe from it until you’ve left the building.
Filed under: UFCUFC on Versus 6 goes down in Washington D.C. on Saturday night, and while the people there may not look too kindly on you betting on presidential races (don’t look now, but Ron Paul’s going off at +4500), you can still scour this fight …
UFC on Versus 6 goes down in Washington D.C. on Saturday night, and while the people there may not look too kindly on you betting on presidential races (don’t look now, but Ron Paul’s going off at +4500), you can still scour this fight card in search of a good deal.
So who do oddsmakers like on Saturday night, and who might they be overvaluing? I’m so glad you asked…
If there’s anybody in the 135-pound division who can out-quick Cruz, it just might be Johnson. Then again, that’s still a big if. Johnson’s problem is that his quickness is mostly limited to the takedown department. Granted, he can shoot in for a double-leg and have your back on the mat before you can say ‘sprawl,’ much less do it, but it’s fairly predictable. Cruz, on the other hand, is anything but. With the way he dips his head and lets his feet drift perilously close together in that peculiar little striking cha-cha of his, he’d be relatively easy to drop if only you had any way of knowing when he was going to do what. From the looks of it, he barely knows. Cruz dominates not simply because he’s fast, but because he disguises his attacks so well. Is he throwing the lead right or is he just distracting you with it en route to the takedown? You never know until it’s too late. My pick: Cruz. Compared to him, Johnson is a one-trick pony. If that trick were knockout power or even slick submissions, it might be worth the risk. But no way he holds the champ down for five rounds.
As much as I love Barry and hope he sticks around for a long time to entertain us in and out of the cage, I’m surprised to see him favored in this fight. Barry’s a great kickboxer, but he’s giving up so much size and reach to the 6’11” Struve. The smart play would be for Barry to attack his legs, if only because he can’t reach the Dutchman’s head without a trampoline. If Struve does even a mediocre job of using his length, he should be able to give Barry problems. If the fight moves in close, Struve could take it to the mat, where he has the better submissions game. The only thing he can’t do is spend a lot of time in the clinch or miss with big shots that let Barry get in and counter. And okay, he also probably shouldn’t let Barry do to his legs what he did to poor, poor Dan Evensen’s, but that goes without saying, right? My pick: Struve. In a stand-up comedy or personality contest, Barry wins easily. But here, with the underdog line plus all the checkmarks in Struve’s favor, he’s the smarter pick.
Remember when Brenneman was, according to the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission’s Greg Sirb, a real-life “Rocky story” for stepping up in Nate Marquardt’s place and beating Rick Story? Well, a) someone should remind Sirb that it’s his job to regulate fights, not sell them like he’s Don freaking King, and b) as a thank you from the UFC, now Brenneman gets has to fight Johnson, which just reminds us all what a tough way to make a living this sport can be. Johnson has proved himself to be a pretty solid wrestler when he needs to be, but here he’ll likely use that to keep the fight standing and exploit Brenneman’s inexperience in the striking game. And that can be done, let’s not forget. Johny Hendricks had him on ice skates after landing a few good shots, and he’s nowhere near the striker Johnson is. As long as “Rumble” can make weight without killing himself, he has the tools to keep this fight where he wants it and take advantage of some holes in Brenneman’s game. But then, that scale has proved to be a nemesis in the past… My pick: Johnson. He’s faced tougher competition in his UFC run than Brenneman, and a diverse set of skills has helped him tremendously. Brenneman does one thing very well, but that will only get you so far. Mac Danzig (+165) vs. Matt Wiman (-205)
Ah, yes. The fight that ended early, then was supposed to happen again, then got put off by injuries and other match-ups until we all forgot what was weird about the first meeting. Quick version: Wiman had Danzig in a not-quite-tight-enough guillotine choke, but the ref freaked out and stopped it anyway, thinking Danzig was in trouble. Now they meet again to settle that old score, only this time it’s Wiman who’s more recently feeling the sting of injustice, having just lost a close decision to Dennis Siver in July. The first meeting between these two was so brief, it was tough to tell who had the edge. But that Siver fight gave Wiman a chance to really show what he could do, and he was impressive in it. The fight was still a close one and could have gone either way, but Wiman showed how far he’s come in recent years by hanging with someone of Siver’s caliber and nearly putting him away. Danzig? He knocked out Joe Stevenson last December, but that doesn’t exactly mean what it used to. My pick: Wiman. He’s come a long way in the last couple years. Danzig is still mostly the same guy who won TUF.
Quick Picks:
– Yves Edwards (-165) over Rafaello Oliveira (+135). Oliveira isn’t fighting guys like “Wigman Big Big” anymore, and he’s lost to nearly every name fighter he’s faced.
– Paul Sass (+150) over Michael Johnson (-180). With the exception of his decision loss to Jonathan Brookins in the TUF finale, all of Johnson’s other losses have come via submission. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Sass has some nasty ones.
