UFC are currently attempting to book a lightweight bout between rising contender Brad Riddell and veteran Drew Dober for their June 12th pay-per-view event. News of the potential matchup was first reported by Nolan King, Farah Hannoun and Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie.
Should the fight be confirmed, it will join a card that does not have a confirmed location at the moment.
