A lightweight bout between Jacob Volkmann (14-2) and undefeated Paul Sass (12-0) is in the works for UFC 146 in Las Vegas.

Since dropping his first two UFC fights to welterweights Paulo Thiago and Martin Kampmann, Volkmann has won five consecutive fights in the lightweight division. Most recently, the three-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler picked up a unanimous-decision victory over Efrain Escudero at UFC 141. In fact, all five of his recent wins have come via decision, including split-decision nods over Ronys Torres and Antonio McKee.

Sass recently picked up his second UFC victory (and his 12th straight win overall) with a heel-hook submission of Michael Johnson at UFC on Versus 6 in October. The British fighter, who recently was forced out of a UFC on FOX 2 bout with Evan Dunham due to an injury, now owns 11 submissions in 12 career victories.

UFC 146 takes place May 26 in Las Vegas at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Less than a year after his departure from UFC, Marquardt has signed a new deal with Strikeforce to compete in their welterweight division.

While there was no confirmation on his debut date or opponent, current expectations are for Marquardt to meet Tyron Woodley for the vacant Strikeforce welterweight title later this year.

Ironically enough, while Marquardt was released last year from his UFC contract after elevated testosterone levels kept him out of his scheduled fight at UFC on Versus 4 against Rick Story, the Colorado based fighter never actually competed in another promotion.

Marquardt was signed to the British promotion BAMMA and was expected to debut in February, but after multiple delays the fighter asked and received his release from the organization.
