Canada's own Yves "Tiger" Jabouin will be taking on Walel "The Gazelle" Watson in a bantamweight battle on December 10th at UFC 140 in Toronto. "Jabouin is looking to stay undefeated since moving into the weight division and Watson is coming off a spectacular KO win," said UFC president Dana White today. Both fighters have verbally agreed to the bout.
Jabouin made a successful debut at bantamweight at UFC 134 where he defeated Ian Loveland by close split-decision. Watson looked very impressive his his UFC debut at UFC on Versus 6 earlier this month when he dispatched Joseph Sandoval by TKO in just 77 seconds. The bout is expected to take place on the preliminary portion of the card, that will be main-evented by a UFC light heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and challenger Lyoto Machida.
