Heavyweights Brendan Schaub and Ben Rothwell will look to bounce back from recent losses when they’re slated to square off at UFC 145 on March 24 in Montreal, Canada, the UFC announced Tuesday.
Schaub (8-2), the runner-up to Roy Nelson on The Ultimate Fighter 10, had his four-fight win streak snapped in a first-round KO at the hands of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 134, while Rothwell (31-8) returned from a 15-month layoff on the losing end of a unanimous decision against Mark Hunt at UFC 135.
UFC 145 does not yet have a main event, but the UFC 145 fight card also includes welterweights Rory MacDonald vs. Che Mills and heavyweights Travis Browne vs. Chad Griggs.
