UFC on FX 3: Tom Lawlor vs Jason MacDonald booked for May 15 in Virginia

Pictured: Tom Lawlor

It's about to get "Filthy" up in Fairfax.

That's because Tom Lawlor has been booked for a middleweight mash-up against longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Jason MacDonald at the planned UFC on FX 3 event set for May 15, 2012, in Fairfax, Virginia.

The promotion confirmed the news we shared last week.

After coming up quick in his career with a 6-1 record and a stint in The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) house, Lawlor has fallen on some hard times, losing three of his last four fights. What's worse, he's competed just once in over a year.

Time to get back on the hog.

Star-divide

Standing in the way of that is Jason MacDonald, the 36-year-old Canadian who was most recently in action at UFC Fight Night 25 in Sept. 2011 in a losing effort against Alan Belcher.

In fact, he's dropped two his past three and considering his age and other factors, this could very well be a must-win fight.

Sounds like a good time.

UFC on FX 3 is set to take place on May 15, 2012, in Fairfax, Virginia, and will feature a light heavyweight rematch over a year in the making, as Thiago Silva will return from suspension to battle Brandon Vera. No word on whether or not that's the main event but of the evening but it would seem to make sense.

As always, stay tuned to MMAmania.com for future updates.

Definitely a “loser gets cut” bout.

Hoping Lawlor pulls it off for his weigh-ins alone.

I lost to Cruz Jackson. He’s the best. I padded his record and just a can. I talk shit to try and get replies when In reality I still play the original Halo on original XBOX like a religiously. I’m so totally awesome and straight and I act gay on a blog only because I’m the second loneliest mother fucker on Mania. First goes to Stallion. I want Shivan to lose to Cruz and Diaz to show how overrated he is. My favorite fighter is Josh Burkman. Thank You.
