JOHN DODSON MOVING DOWN TO UFC'S 125 LB. DIVISION, AGREEMENT IN PLACE FOR UFC ON FOX 3 FIGHT

By Joe Lebeau on 1/25/2012 12:28 AM
Bantamweight Ultimate Fighter winner John Dodson has his first post-TUF fight booked in the octagon.

"The Magician" Dodson (12-5) is making the move down to the 125 pound division to take on a fellow bantamweight who is also making the move to flyweight, Darren Uyenoyama, at the UFC on FOX 3 event in May.

Uyenoyama (7-3) most recently competed at UFC on FOX 1, defeating Norifumi Yamamoto via unanimous decision. Dodson of course, competed at the TUF 14 finale in December, blasting T.J. Dillashaw in a under two minutes to win a six-figure UFC contract.

UFC has confirmed that verbal agreements are in place for the fight, with bout agreements expected to be signed shortly.
