A middleweight bout between Ultimate Fighter 11 alum Nick Ring and UFC newcomer James Head is coming to the preliminary card of UFC 131 in Vancouver, the UFC announced on Monday.
Ring, an American-born Canadian fighter, made his official UFC debut in February in Australia after returning from knee surgery, and picked up a controversial unanimous decision win over Riki Fukuda in a fight most felt Fukuda won. Still technically undefeated, Ring will look to get a more convincing win his second time out.
Head makes his UFC debut with a 7-1 record, having most recently defeated UFC veteran Gerald Harris in February.
UFC 131 takes place from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on June 11. The card is headlined by the heavyweight bout between Brock Lesnar and Junior Dos Santos.
