Brendan Schaub vs. Lavar Johnson?

It was recently announced that heavy hitters Brendan Schaub (8-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) and the once surging Lavar Johnson (17-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) will face off at 'UFC On Fox 5'.

Colorado's Schaub will be trying to avoid dropping three straight for the first time in his professional career after tough fought losses at the hands of  'Little Nog' and Ben Rothwell respectively.

In addition, both losses were brutal KO's.

Johnson is looking to get back in the win column himself after seeing a three fight win streak snapped by Stefan Struve at UFC 146.

Considering Schaub's stellar BJJ and wrestling skills  built on the guidance from the likes of Amal Easton and Leister Bowling III, you have to wonder if he would look to take Johnson to the mat after getting KO'd in both of his last two outings.

Especially when you consider the fact that all but one of Johnson's six losses have been by submission.

UFC on FOX 5 takes place Dec. 8 at KeyArena in Seattle. It will be headlined by a lightweight title fight between Benson Henderson and #1contender Nate Diaz.
