John Dodson and Darren Uyenoyama to Meet at UFC on FOX 3 in NJ

News

With John Dodson moving down to his natural 125-lb. weight class, it was only a matter of time before The Ultimate Fighter 14 winner was offered an another opponent after his decimation of TJ Dillashaw at that show’s finale.

In his flyweight debut, Dodson will face Darren Uyenoyama at UFC on FOX 3 in East Rutherford, NJ. Uyenoyama is coming off a big win himself after a great victory over Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto this past November. The show is expected for May 5th and was originally confirmed via Twitter.

UFC on FOX 3 will also feature a lightweight fight between Jim Miller and Nate Diaz with the winner more-than-likely receiving a title shot at the winner of UFC 144’s Lightweight title bout between Frankie Edgar and Ben Henderson.
