The UFC continues to build the card for the promotion’s May 10th return to Cincinnati, as a middleweights Ed Herman and Rafael Natal have verbally agreed to fight at the event.

Herman (21-10) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Thales Leites at UFC 167 in November, after scoring a split decision victory over Trevor Smith last July.

Natal (17-5-1) was knocked out by Tim Kennedy in his last outing, which took place at Fight for the Troops III in October. The defeat ended “Sapo’s” three fight winning streak.

The May 10th, UFC Fight Night card will be hosted by Cincinnati’s U.S. Bank Arena.  The main event has yet to be announced.
