A heavyweight bout that was reported earlier this week is now official as Stefan Struve will meet Jared Rosholt at UFC 193 in November.
The fight booking was made official by the UFC on Thursday.
UFC 193 will take place on November 15 (airs live on pay-per-view on November 14) from the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia and will be headlined by a title fight as Robbie Lawler defends the welterweight title against Carlos Condit.
Struve (26-7) is coming off a decision win at UFC 190 earlier this month against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria. The victory snapped a two fight losing streak and it was his first win since 2012. Rosholt (13-2) has won back to back fights and is 5-1 in the UFC. His most recent win came at UFC Fight Night 73 three weeks ago as he defeated Timothy Johnson.
