HeavyMMA.com confirms that a light heavyweight fight between Anthony Perosh and Krzysztof Soszynski is in the works for UFC 131 this June.

A light heavyweight tilt between Anthony Perosh and Krzysztof Soszynski is in the works for UFC 131 in June.

MMAjunkie.com learned of the match up from sources close to the event.

Soszynski, a seven-fight veteran of the UFC, last competed at UFC 122 last November, earning a unanimous decision victory over Goran Reljic. The victory was his second in four fights and served as a rebound after a technical knockout loss to Stephan Bonnar at UFC 116.

Like his upcoming opponent, Perosh is also coming off a victory, having defeated Tom Blackledge via submission in front of thousands of fellow Australians at UFC 127 last month and moving his record with the promotion to 1-3. The three losses came against Mirko Filipovic, Jeff Monson, and Christian Wellisch.

The 205 lb. tilt will take place on June 11 at UFC 131 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The card features a heavyweight clash between former champion Brock Lesnar and knockout machine Junior dos Santos.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship puts on UFC 116: Lesnar vs. Carwin tonight from Las Vegas, which features arguably the biggest heavyweight title fight in the history of the organization. Here are my thoughts on tonight’s card.

UFC Heavyweight Championship – Brock Lesnar (4-1) vs. Shane Carwin (12-0) – These two have very similar builds and styles but the key in this fight will be Lesnar’s ability to get the fight to the ground. If the fight stays standing, Carwin has the edge. Carwin should be able to stay off his back and land a big punch to earn the KO win in the first or second round. While Lesnar is a stud, he is still green to MMA and never fought someone with the power that Carwin has. Look for Lesnar to learn a big lesson tonight.

UFC Middleweight Bout – Yoshihiro Akiyama (13-1) vs. Chris Leben (20-6) – Leben deserves some credit for taking this fight just a few weeks after competing, but it should be somewhat easy for Akiyama to get him to the ground and submit him after a couple of rounds of work. Look for Akiyama to win by choke in round two.

UFC Welterweight Bout – Chris Lytle (38-17-4) vs. Matt Brown (13-8) – Both of these guys are tough as nails, but Lytle has the edge in striking technique and probably in wrestling as well. Look for him to control Brown and land some big punches to earn a decision victory in what could be Fight of the Night.

UFC Light Heavyweight Bout – Krzysztof Soszynski (20-10-1) vs. Stephan Bonnar (14-7) – This is a rematch of a bout from UFC 110 where Soszynski won when Bonnar was cut by a head butt. After some dispute, Bonnar gets his rematch, but he was losing the first fight before the cut anyway. Look for Soszynski to continue what he started and win a decision win over Bonnar.

UFC Lightweight Bout – George Sotiropoulos (12-2) vs. Kurt Pellegrino (21-4) – Sotiropoulos has emerged as a solid lightweight due to his grappling and submission skills. Pellergrino is a tough guy, but he isn’t quite at the level as his opponent. Look for this fight to spend most of the time on the ground, where George will control the fight and finish with a submission in the third round.
