Antonio Rogerio Nogueira is scheduled to return in July after being out since the beginning of last year as he will meet Anthony Johnson at UFC on FOX 12 in San Jose.
The fight booking was announced by the UFC on Thursday morning.
UFC on FOX 12 will come from the SAP Center in San Jose on July 26th and the main event for the card has not been announced at this time.
Nogueira (21-5) is currently on a two fight winning streak with the wins coming against former UFC champions Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans. After beating Evans, the UFC booked him for two other fights and he pulled out of both fights with an injury.
Johnson (17-4) returned to the UFC last month and defeated Phil Davis by unanimous decision. It was the seventh straight win for Johnson and he jumped into the top ten in the UFC light heavyweight rankings.
More details on UFC on FOX 12 will be released by the UFC in the coming weeks.
