Spike TV Announces Two Prelim Bouts To Air Before UFC 114

by Brent Brookhouse

↵The first bout scheduled to air on Spike TV is in the lightweight division, and features a former winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” as Efrain Escudero (13-1) squares off against Dan Lauzon (12-3).

↵The evening’s second televised bout is a welterweight contest between Dong Hyun “Stun Gun” Kim (12-0-1, 1 NC) and another former winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Amir Sadollah (4-1).

↵↵- From a Spike TV press release.

↵Both of these bouts are very big tests to show where the former TUF winners stand. Kim vs. Sadollah is one of the most interesting fights on the current schedule. Amir has improved his striking by leaps and bounds but Kim is a different animal from a Phil Baroni or Brad Blackburn. Kim has a judo game that could get Amir to the ground when he sees the need and a good enough striking game to not get overwhelmed when they’re on the feet.
