The first time these two TUF alum’s did battle back in Vancouver last summer Wiman got the win, albeit with an asterisk. Referee Yves Lavigne called the bout to a stop while Wiman was attempting to finish his opponent with a guillotine choke, key word being attempting. Neither Danzig or Wiman were satisfied with the decision.

In what is possibly one of the most surprising fights to be announced in recent years, former lightweight champ BJ Penn will again face former welterweight champ Matt Hughes. The two split their previous meetings, but with Penn fighting at lightweight and both entering the tail end of their career, this fight wasn’t on anyone’s radar. The rubber match will be held at UFC 123 on November 20th at the palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
