"The Ultimate Fighter 6" winner Mac Danzig (18-4-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will look to continue his ascent in the UFC's lightweight division when he meets Clay Guida (23-9 MMA, 3-3 UFC) at UFC 87.

A source close to Guida told MMAjunkie.com (

) that the fighters recently agreed to the August bout.

UFC 87, which now features a main event between UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and top contender Jon Fitch, takes place Aug. 9 at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

Danzig, a former King of the Cage champ who dominated the sixth season of "TUF," defeated Tommy Speer at the show's live finale. He then dropped from welterweight to lightweight at UFC 83 and defeated Canadian Mark Bocek via third-round submission. It was his 10th submission victory -- and 14th stoppage -- in 18 career victories.

As for the perpetually tested Guida, he gets another tough fight in the UFC. Although 3-3 in the organizatiom, the losses have come to notables Din Thomas, Tyson Griffin and Roger Huerta. He most recently defeated Samy Schiavo at UFC Fight Night 13 with a first-round TKO. Guida, a former Strikeforce champ, will look to put together his first back-to-back wins in the UFC.

I don't know how wise this would be, I mean, Guida is a very entertaining fighter and a great fighter at that, currently at a 3-3 UFC record though I think that a loss to Mac would throw his ass out into the cold which I don't want to see, I would like to see Guida fed a can first, he seems to get hard fighters constantly.

I think even if Guida loses he stays everyone loves Guida and that has to do a lot with whether Dana keeps you or not.

I predict Mac via rear naked choke but even if Guida loses he's staying, at 3-4 with 7 super awesome fights he's staying.

I have to say I'm really torn on this fight, Mac was my guy on TUF even though he got knocked out hard by Sakurai at PRIDE 33 and Clay is a great fighter who deserves a break. Clay might actually be trouble for Mac just because of his willingness to bang with him and If Mac gets caught hes in serious trouble on the ground as well.

I was gonna compare it to Wandi but I seriously forgot that Guida has had no consistancy he has been winning and losing not just winning straight or losing straight, so I guess it isn't as bad.
