UFC 115: Pat Barry vs Gilbert Yvel in the works for June 12

Hard-hitting heavyweights Pat Barry and Gilbert Yvel will likely collide at UFC 115 from the General Motors Place in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, on June 12, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

Barry (5-1) was last seen stopping Dutch kickboxer Antoni Hardonk back at UFC 104 last October. In doing so, he collected $120,000 for his efforts, including a "Knockout of the Night" bonus. Turns out, he needed every penny of it.

Barry quickly cashed his winnings, because as he noted after the fight, if the bout with Hardonk had been cancelled for some reason, he would have been evicted from his apartment six days later as he hardly had a dollar to his name.

Now that's a feel good story.

Yvel (36-14), meanwhile, was stopped with a crushing left hook courtesy of Junior dos Santos at UFC 108 in his UFC debut earlier this year. Before succumbing to the explosive hands of Dos Santos, Yvel had won eight of his prior nine bouts, with his last win coming against Pedro Rizzo last summer.

Don't blink -- it could be a painfully quick one to watch! More on this breaking news in a bit.

UFC 115 is expected to feature the third (and hopefully final ) dance between former light heavyweight champions Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, fresh off their coaching gigs at The Ultimate Fighter 11.
