PrintFrom a Spike TV press release:
The first bout scheduled to air on Spike TV is in the lightweight division, and features a former winner of "The Ultimate Fighter," as Efrain Escudero (13-1) squares off against Dan Lauzon (12-3). Escudero was the winner in the lightweight competition of Season 8 of "The Ultimate Fighter," defeating Phillipe Nover via unanimous decision to capture the crown. Following that, he defeated Cole Miller via TKO at UFC 103 before suffering the first defeat of his MMA career at the hands of Evan Dunham at UFC Fight Night 20 in January. He will look to bounce back against a fighter seeking his first win in the UFC, 22 year old Dan Lauzon.
The evening’s second televised bout is a welterweight contest between Dong Hyun "Stun Gun" Kim (12-0-1, 1 NC) and another former winner of "The Ultimate Fighter," Amir Sadollah (4-1). Kim currently boasts a 3-0, 1 NC record in the UFC and aims to use his MMA experience to his advantage against Sadollah. Sadollah will need to display that same resilience (against Baroni and Blackburn), as well as his improving Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills, if he is to defeat Kim.
Spike TV will telecast live undercard bouts from UFC 114: RAMPAGE vs. EVANS on Saturday, May 29 at 9:00 PM EST from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The one-hour telecast will run with limited commercial interruption. UFC 114 will air on pay-per-view at 10:00 PM ET.

Stun Gun!
Lauzon gets his walking papers and Stun Gun beats Sadollah.
Looking forward to the prelims….with STUN GUN!
UFC is to Larry Fitzgerald as Strikeforce is to Plaxico Burress. One is the most dominant in their league, while the other shoots itself in the midst of progress.
With Stun Gun’s height and his Judo skills (and underrated jiu jitsu skills), I just can’t see Sadollah winning in that I can’t see Sadollah keeping this fight standing, which is where Sadollah has been winning his fights lately. Escudero has all the tools to beat Dan Lauzon, and I also feel that Dan Lauzon will get cut should he lose.
Effy gots this. W00t! Big fan of his so Im glad he gets this much exposure. Hopefully if he takes this one then he asks for a rematch with Evan Dunham. He was winning that fight until he got caught in that sick sub.

The Stun Gun gun is going to be stopped by the Burger Prince; you read it here first.

Sadollah's finishing abilities do not impress me.
He had several chances to knockout Brad Blackburn and didn’t do it.
Don’t diss the Stun Gun!

Those AA batteries better be charged coming May 29 is all I’m saying.

Stun Gun can positionally wreck Sadollah if he’s able to get it to the ground and not get sucked into the distance game.
Got the Summer hatin on me cus I'm hotter than the sun. Got the Spring hatin on me cus I ain't never sprung. Winter hatin on me cus I'm colder than ya'll; and I will never I will never I will never Fall.
Somehow he always manages to get the back while standing. Almost every fight I’ve seen with him.

But he never does the german suplex I’m always yelling for :(.

Never really liked Sadollah until a few fights ago
The guy is fucking funny, hope he does well. I would give it to Kim but, except for the Hendricks fight picking against Sadollah has come back to bite me in the ass.

Err, rewriting history much?
Hendricks didn’t destroy him. He dropped Amir and then whiffed on a flurry of haymakers that all barely touched Amir’s hair as he was working back to his feet. Miragliotta was in a bad position, couldn’t see what was happening, and jumped in early thinking Amir was getting clocked.

You are rewriting history
We all know Dan Miraliotta is not a fan of early stoppages.
