Krzysztof Soszynski battles Stephan Bonnar at UFC 116

Soszynski vs. Perosh takes place at UFC 131

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.
