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)

- 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:
