3. Chad Laprise vs. Yosdenis Cedeno
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNizRlbEzBc Weight Class: Lightweight Chad Laprise won the welterweight tournament at TUF Nations: Canada vs. Australia, and like Theodorou, he gets his first non-TUF appearance (and second official fight) in the UFC at Fight Night 54. Laprise (80) is dropping to lightweight here, but that's not surprising, as he fought at lightweight in Bellator prior to TUF. For his return to the weight class he gets Cuban Yosdenis Cedeno (10-3), who is 1-1 in the UFC. Cedeno has been fighting pro since 2009, and has a loss to TUF winner Jonathan Brookins outside the UFC on his record. He may find himself losing to another TUF winner Satuday, as Laprise has the ability to put him away. Laprise by TKO in the second.
