A heavyweight matchup between Stefan Struve and Jared Rosholt is headed down under, with the UFC announcing on Thursday that the two will meet at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia.
Struve halted a two-fight losing streak in his last outing, with the "Skyscraper" defeating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 190 earlier this month. The win was Struve's first since September of 2012 after a lengthy layoff due to a heart condition, and a loss to Alistair Overeem in his return last December.
As for Rosholt, the former All-American collegiate wrestler has won five of his six fights in the UFC. He competed earlier this month as well, defeating Tim Johnson at UFC Fight Night 73 in Nashville.
UFC 193 is the organization's first trip to Melbourne, and takes place in Etihad Stadium. Likely to be set up for upwards of 70,000 fans, the event will be headlined by the Welterweight Title bout between Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit.
