Jiu-jitsu brown belt Paul Sass (12-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will test his slick submission skills against a black belt.
Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that the British lightweight is expected to meet Evan Dunham (12-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 2. ESPN.com initially reported the fight.
UFC on FOX 2 takes place Jan. 28 at United Center in Chicago. A light-heavyweight bout between former champ Rashad Evans and Phil Davis is expected to headline.
The night's main card airs live on FOX while preliminary fights air on FX and FUEL TV. It's not clear where Dunham vs. Sass will be situated on the card.
Sass kept alive an incredible and almost unbroken streak of submission victories with a first-round heel hook of Michael Johnson at UFC on Versus 6. That built on his octagon debut at UFC 120 in which he tapped out Mark Holst by first-round triangle, his eighth such win by that choke.
Only two of Sass' 12 professional foes have made it out of the first round.
Dunham, however, has fought in deep waters on plenty of occasions. The Eugene, Ore. native most recently battered "The Ultimate Fighter 13" veteran Shamar Bailey en route to a decision win at UFC Fight Night 25. The win snapped a two-fight skid to former champ Sean Sherk and Melvin Guillard at UFC 119 and UFC Fight Night 23, respectively, that blemished his previously unbeaten record.
Both Dunham and Sass have earned "Submission of the Night" bonuses, and Dunham also boasts a "Fight of the Night" honor for his bout with Sherk.
