James Vick Steps In, Meets Evan Dunham At UFC 199

Fresh off his fifth win inside the Octagon, James Vick will put his perfect record on the line against Evan Dunham at UFC 199.

The event takes place June 4 from Inglewood, California and The Forum, as two title fights are set for the night. Chris Weidman challenges Luke Rockhold for middleweight gold in the main event, while Urijah Faber takes on Dominick Cruz for the bantamweight gold.

Vick (9-0) scored a decision over Glaico Franca in last weekend, adding to wins over Jake Matthews, Nick Hein, Valmir Lazaro and Ramsey Nijem. He was also a semifinalist on The Ultimate Fighter, falling to eventual champion Michael Chiesa.

Dunham (17-6) was set to meet Leonardo Santos, but an injury knocked Santos out. Since three straight losses to current UFC champion Rafael dos Anjos, former contender Donald Cerrone and top challenger Edson Barboza, Dunham has won three in a row – all via decision.
