A newly booked lightweight bout is expected to take place at UFC 146 as submission specialist Paul Sass will take on the always controversial Jacob Volkmann.
Sass (12-0), is well known for submitting his opponents. Most recently he defeated Michael Johnson by heel hook at UFC Live 6 in October. His opponent, "Christmas" Volkmann (14-2), is well known for his dominate top game. Unbeaten at lightweight, Volkmann most recently appeared at UFC 141 in December, defeating Efrain Escudero.
UFC 146 takes place on May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is expected to feature a heavyweight title fight between Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem, a middleweight tilt between Jason "Mayhem" Miller and C.B. Dollaway, and a lightweight bout between fast rising Brazilian Edson Barboza and Evan Dunham.
