A year after his last fight, Mark Munoz will finally return to the Octagon.

Munoz and Tim Boetsch have verbally agreed to meet at UFC 162 in July, sources close to the fight confirmed with MMAFighting.com. The promotion has yet to make the middleweight fight official.

Munoz (12-3) hasn't fought since he was knocked out by Chris Weidman at UFC on FUEL TV 4 last July. The loss snapped his four-fight winning streak.

Speaking of streaks being snapped, Boetsch (15-6) saw his four-fight winning run halted by Costa Philippou at UFC 155 in December.

UFC 162, headlined by Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman for the UFC middleweight title, will take place July 6 in Las Vegas.
