With Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight mainstay Evan Dunham pulling out of his bout with James Vick, who was filling in for an injured Leonardo Santos, at UFC 199 on June 4 in Inglewood, California, "The Texecutioner" needs a new opponent.
Luckily for the undefeated 29-year-old prospect, budding Lightweight contender Beneil Dariush will step in on short notice, per a recent report by MMA Fighting.
Dariush (12-2) was recently upset by former TUF winner Michael Chiesa back at UFC on FOX 19, losing by second-round submission.
