Justin Buchholz doesn't have the reputation of previous opponents like Jim Miller, Josh Neer or Clay Guida, but he gave Danzig a good fight before falling via unanimous decision, 29-28 on all cards, in the final undercard fight before the pay-per-view portion of UFC 109.

Danzig is now 3-3 in the UFC and survives another day. Danzig, a good submission artist with a well-rounded game, proves the depth of the promotion's lightweight division.

"He's a great fighter. I do my best not to underestimate anyone I face. This depth in this division is so steep. I don't think people understand what it's like to fight in this division. Even the guys at the bottom of the rankings at 155 are world class."
