A lightweight matchup between George Sotiropoulos and Joe Lauzon is in the works for UFC 123 in a match with title implications.
Sotiropoulos (13-2, 6-0 UFC) has gone undefeated in six UFC bouts, and could be in line for a title shot with another win. The Australian has not lost a fight since a disqualifaction against Shinya Aoki in 2006.
Lauzon (19-5, 6-2 UFC) is coming off of a submission win over Gabe Ruediger in dominant fashion at UFC 118. A win over Sotiropoulos would also put Lauzon on the road to contention.
Sotiropoulos last three fights:
Win (Unanimous Decision) Kurt Pellegrino - UFC 116
Win (Unanimous Decision) Joe Stevenson - UFC 110
Win (Arm Bar Submission) Jason Dent - UFC 106
Lauzon last three fights:
