Xtreme Couture training partners Tyson Griffin (14-2) and Evan Dunham (10-0) are reported to be facing off at UFC 115:
A lightweight showdown pitting the returning Tyson Griffin against the emerging Evan Dunham is on tap for UFC 115 on June 12 in Vancouver.
MMAWeekly.com sources on Tuesday night said the bout has been agreed to, but not yet signed.
Most friends and sparring partners, like the guys in AKA, Jackson's, or in Black House have been vehemently opposed to the idea of squaring off against one of their teammates. Some have said that they would only consider it if the money was right, or if it was for a world title, but this isn't the case for Griffin and Dunham, as they have decided to set everything aside and get paid to do what they regularly do in the gym.
Griffin is expected to remain with Xtreme Couture, while Dunham will be training on another gym to prepare for this bout.
Rumored UFC 115 card so far:
- Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz
- Rory Macdonald vs Carlos Condit
- Gilbert Yvel vs Pat Barry
- Tyson Griffin vs Evan Dunham
- Peter Sobotta vs James Wilks
