David Loiseau vs. Mario Miranda Announced For UFC 115 Preliminary Card

After missing the chance to fight at UFC 113 in Montreal this weekend, David Loiseau (19-9) will get his moment to fight on Canadian soil at UFC 115 against Mario Miranda (9-1).
UFC 115: Liddell vs. Franklin will take place on June 12 at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The bout between Loiseau and Miranda will take place on the preliminary card.
Loiseau had been a late replacement for an injured Nick Catone at UFC 113, and was to fight in front of his hometown of Montreal, but failed to receive his license in time and was replaced by another Canadian, Jason MacDonald in the bout against John Salter.
The delay in licensing was due to an open investigation into the sale of the XMMA, a Quebec based mma promotion Loiseau once owned part of, to a group of individuals who are being investigated by the authorities.
Loiseau has eight bouts under the UFC banner going 4-4 over the past seven years. He earned a victory over Chester Post at a MFL 2 Battleground event last February in his last match. In his last UFC appearance, at UFC 97, Loiseau lost a unanimous decision to Ed Herman at the April 2009 event.
Miranda made his UFC debut in his last fight against Gerald Harris, losing the first fight of his career by TKO at UFN 21. The Brazilian almost earned a spot on “The Ultimate Fighter 11″ but instead earned a contract with the UFC.
