Lauzon has now dropped three of his last four bouts, including a headkick KO loss against Anthony Pettis at UFC 144. However, Lauzon has taken home “Fight of the Night” honors is two of those four fights.
Danzig (21-11-1) is coming off a KO loss at the hands of Melvin Guillard in his last outing in July. The former TUF winner has also dropped three of his last four bouts in the UFC, and will be looking to potentially stay in the UFC with a win.

- Anthony Pettis vs. Josh Thomson
