Former WEC title contender
Brock Larson will take on Hit Squad's
Brian Foster in a late addition to the
UFC 106 card on Nov. 21 in Las Vegas, FanHouse learned Sunday.
Both welterweights are coming off a loss last month and have jumped at the opportunity for a quick return to get back on the winning track.
They will meet on the undercard of a stacked lineup that is being highlighted by Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin and Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin.
Larson (26-3) out of Brainerd, Minn. was recently upset by UFC newcomer
Mike Pierce at UFC Fight Night 19 by unanimous decision, ending a five-fight win streak. Larson had previously only lost to top 10 ranked fighters in Jon Fitch and Carlos Condit.
Foster (12-4) lost his UFC debut against
Rick Story at UFC 103 by arm-triangle submission but came away with a performance impressive enough to earn him the Fight of the Night honor with Story.
The UFC 106 card now appears to feature 11 bouts:
Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin
Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin
Jon Fitch vs. Ricardo Almeida
Karo Parisyan vs. Dustin Hazelett
Amir Sadollah vs. Phil Baroni
