It looks like Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum are going to fight again, as according to reports, a rematch between the two is planned for UFC 207.

Werdum and Velasquez fought for the first time last June, and the latter lost the bout via submission. The heavyweights were scheduled to fight again this past February, but Velasquez had to withdraw due to injury.

According to a report by MMA Junkie.com, the fighters have been offered a fight at the December 30th, UFC 207 card. MMAFighting.com is reporting that Werdum and Velasquez have agreed to fight at the upcoming, Las Vegas event.

Both men are coming off wins over Travis Browne. Velasquez quickly stopped Browne at UFC 200 in July, and Werdum earned a decision win over “Hapa” at UFC 203 last weekend.

The UFC has not made any official announcement regarding the reported bout.
