Heavyweight Todd Duffee is returning on December 6th at UFC 181 in Las Vegas and he will meet Anthony Hamilton in a bout that will likely be on the preliminary card.
The fight booking was initially announced by ESPN and the UFC immediately confirmed the report.
UFC 181 will come from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and will be headlined by Chris Weidman defending the UFC middleweight title against Vitor Belfort.
Duffee (8-2) will be stepping into the cage for the first time in nearly two years as his last fight came at the end of 2012 at UFC 155. Currently, he is on a two fight winning streak and both of those victories have come by TKO in the first round.
Hamilton (12-3) was signed by the UFC earlier this year and lost his debut to Oleksiy Oliynyk in June by submission. He returned last month at UFC 177 and defeated Ruan Potts by TKO in the second round.
