Middleweights Chris Camozzi (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Nick Ring (13-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) will meet in March at UFC 158.
Officials today announced the matchup between "The Ultimate Fighter" alumni.
Featuring a welterweight title fight between champion Georges St-Pierre and former Strikeforce titleholder Nick Diaz, UFC 158 takes place March 16 at Montreal's Bell Centre. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
It's not clear where Camozzi vs. Ring will be placed on the lineup.
The Colorado-based Camozzi searches for his fourth straight UFC victory following recent wins over Dustin Jacoby (submission), Nick Catone (TKO) and Luiz Cane (decision). He's now 4-1 in his past five fights and 8-2 since mid-2009.
His title hopes could get a boost with a win over Ring, who recently rebounded from his first career loss (a decision defeat to Tim Boetsch) with a decision victory over Court McGee at UFC 149. The Canadian then was slated to fight Costa Philippou at UFC 154 in November, but prior to the weigh-ins, Ring was pulled from the fight due to an illness.
The latest UFC 154 card includes:
Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz - for welterweight title
Jake Ellenberger vs. Johny Hendricks
Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
