Efrain Escudero vs. Dan Lauzon Expected for UFC 114 in Las Vegas

Boston Herald reporter Dan Duggan follows up via twitter on a report that Dan Lauzon (12-3, 0-2 UFC) would next compete at UFC 114 in May, with news that Lauzon's opponent will be TUF Season 8 winner Efrain Escudero (12-1, 2-1 UFC):

Just heard from a UFC source: Dan Lauzon's next fight will come at UFC 114 on May 29 against Efrain Escudero

Both fighters are coming off of disappointing submission losses (Escudero to Evan Dunham at UFN 20, and Lauzon to Coler Miller at UFC 108), and Lauzon's situation may be even more dire since has has yet to taste victory inside the Octagon. Unfortunately for Lauzon, if he can't get a win against the very-tough Escudero, he may find himself on the chopping block in terms of his future prospects with the UFC.

I have to go with Escudero to win this. I feel that Escudero is better in every area than Dan Lauzon. Good to know that Escudero is able to fight so soon after getting his arm ripped off by Dunham.

Hopefully Effrain comes in better shape he was gassed after 1 round and that’s the last thing you want when you fight at LW in the UFC guys there are cardio machines.
