UFC 115 will be the next UFC event to feature the Spike TV one hour special “UFC Prelims” show and will feature a couple of lightweight tilts from the Vancouver event.

Tyson Griffin (14-2) will face Evan Dunham (10-0), while Mac Danzig (19-7-1) will step into the octagon against Matt Wiman (11-5) during the one hour special.

UFC 115 will take place on June 12 at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and will mark the promotions first show in that city. The “UFC Prelims” show will air on Spike TV at 9 p.m. EST (6 p.m. PST).

No official announcement has been made by Spike TV but official word is expected next week.

The match between Griffin and Dunham had been scheduled for the PPV card but was swapped out for a heavyweight match featuring Ben Rothwell (30-7) vs. Gilbert Yvel (36-14-1) instead. This might be an attempt by the UFC to feature more energetic and entertaining fights just before the main ppv to draw in more buyers. The reasoning is sound as the number of PPV buys from the recent ‘Aldo vs. Faber’ event certainly rose after fans witnessed the Leonard Garcia vs. Chan Sung Jung fight.

The UFC and Spike TV have contracted 10 “UFC Prelims” specials for 2010. Six shows have aired since the first show at UFC 103, drawing from 1.2 million viewers (UFC 111) to 1.7 million viewers (UFC 109).

The latest UFC 115 card now includes:

Main Card

- Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin
- Patrick Barry vs. Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic
- Martin Kampmann vs. Paulo Thiago
- Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel
- Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald

Preliminary Card (Spike TV)

- Evan Dunham vs. Tyson Griffin
- Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman

Preliminary Card (un-aired)

- David Loiseau vs. Mario Miranda
- Peter Sobotta vs. James Wilks
- Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick
- Jesse Lennox vs. Mike Pyle

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.

UFC 115 now appears as follows:

It took just 30 minutes for UFC 115 to sell out according to UFC president Dana White, who posted the news on his Twitter page on Tuesday.

Vancouver sold out in 30 mins!!!! Thank you vancouver we worked hard on getting it there. Thank you mayor robertson

UFC 115 will take place on June 12th at General Motors Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Tickets for the event never even made it to the general public or to UFC.com newsletter subscribers, as all tickets were purchased by members of the UFC’s official fan club, the UFC Fight Club. Members pay an annual fee and are given early access to ticket sales.

If UFC 115 truly did sell out in 30 minutes, it would make the event the fastest selling event in UFC history. The previous record was held by another event held in Canada, UFC 83 which was held in Montreal as Canada’s first-ever UFC event. It sold out in less than a minute once tickets became available to the public.

A bout between UFC welterweight fighters Mike Pyle (19-6-1) and Jesse Lennox (11-2) appears to be shaping up for UFC 115 in Vancouver.

Sources close to the fighters informed MMAjunkie.com that both fighters had made verbal agreements to face one another with official agreements to be signed soon.

Pyle has gone 1-2 in his three UFC bouts, losing to Jake Ellenberger at UFC 108 in his last fight. He defeated Chris Wilson via guillotine choke at UFN 19, and was defeated by Brock Larson at UFC 98. Fifteen of Pyle’s nineteen victories have come by submission.

Lennox last appeared at UFN 20 against Rick Story, losing a unanimous decision in that bout. Before that fight Lennox had been on a four fight win streak, including winning his UFC debut against Danillo Villefort at UFC 101.

UFC 115, not yet officially announced, is expected to take place June 12 at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

A 170 pound showdown between Ricky “Horror” Story and Nick Osipczak appears to be the latest addition to the increasingly stacked UFC 112 card set for Abu Dhabi.

The expected match-up between the two was first reported by Dann Stupp over at MMAJunkie.com and FiveOuncesofPain.com has since learned from sources close to the proposed match-up that the bout is indeed on the table.

UFC 112 is set for April 10 from the Ferrari World theme park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

“The Ultimate Fighter” blogger for FiveOuncesofPain.com during the ninth installation of the series, Osipczak is a former professional gambler that used his knack for earning money to focus his time on training in mixed martial arts. The results have been impressive as the former kung fu practitioner has put together an unblemished record of 5-0 as a professional, with his most recent win coming in the form of a third round TKO over Matt Riddle during UFC 105.

Story got off to a rough start in his UFC debut where the twenty-five year old Washington native suffered a unanimous decision defeat at the hands of John Hathaway before rebounding in a major way with a second round arm triangle submission over Brian Foster that earned him both “Fight of the Night” and “Submission of the Night” bonuses at UFC 103. The 9-3 Story improved his UFC record to a career 2-1 with his most recent unanimous decision victory over Jessie Lennox at UFC Fight Night 20.
