The UFC announced a trio of bouts overnight for UFC on Fuel 4 event, coming to the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. on July 11.
In addition to confirming previously reported bouts in Nick Penner vs. Tom DeBlass and Anthony Njokuani vs. Rafael dos Anjos, a bantamweight bout between Damacio Page and Alex "Bruce Leroy" Caceres will come to the card as well.
Page hopes to halt a three-fight losing skid, which dates back to his time in the WEC. All three fights in that streak were lost by submission, with Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson, Brian Bowles, and Brad Pickett all stopping him in the last two years.
Caceres is just 1-3 in the UFC, but has performed much better since dropping to 135 lbs. He picked up a win over Cole Escovedo in his debut at the weight, but in his last bout he lost an extremely questionable decision when he was deducted two points for a vicious low blow in a bout against Edwin Figueroa.
Penner and DeBlass are each looking for their first wins in the UFC after losing their respective debuts, and dos Anjos is stepping in as an injury replacement for Paul Taylor against Njokuani.
The July 11 card is headlined by a middleweight bout between Mark Munoz and Chris Weidman.
