That's because rising featherweight prospects Dustin Poirier and Erik Koch have been matched up for a fight that could potentially solidify the next challenger to the 145-pound strap. The bout has been penciled in for UFC 143 on Feb. 4, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The promotion brought word of the pending match-up just last night.
Poirier was last in action just this past weekend, running through fellow contender Pablo Garza with a gorgeous D'arce choke. The 22-year-old Tim Credeur protege is now 4-1 under the Zuffa banner and 11-1 overall.
