Heavyweights Shane Del Rosario and Dave Herman will meet in July at UFC 162: Silva Vs. Weidman. UFC officials confirmed the bout on Thursday.
The event takes place July 6 from Las Vegas, with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva taking on Chris Weidman in the main event.

Del Rosario (11-2) has dropped his first two UFC bouts since coming over from Strikeforce. His losses have both been stoppage defeats at the hands of Pat Barry and Stipe Miocic.

Herman (21-5) is also in need of a victory, as he recently completed a stint in rehab following a failed post-fight drug test. He holds just a 1-3 mark inside the Octagon.
