Kenny Florian made the announcement on ESPN MMA Live that he is likely to fight on UFC 127 and has agreed to face Evan Dunham, who is coming off his first career "loss":
"We verbally agreed to fight Evan Dunham, which is great news. Phenomenal opponent, very excited about it... looks like it may happen on Super Bowl weekend."
UFC 127 is starting to shape up as a killer card. If this fight pushes through, it would join other rumored high profile matchups for the card, like Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort, Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader, and Rich Franklin vs Forrest Griffin.
