UFC 154 gets another solid match-up today, as Rafael Dos Anjos (17-6) will battle Mark Bocek (11-4).

Dos Anjos is coming off a decision win over Anthony Njokuanai in July at UFC on Fuel TV: Munoz vs. Weidman. Before that, he had made short work of Kamal Shalorus with a rear naked choke inside two minutes in May's Zombie vs. Poirier event. A split decision loss to Gleison Tibau last November halted the momentum RDA was building.

Mark Bocek also has two wins in a row. His decision win over John Alessio at April's UFC 145 and the decision win over Nik Lentz last December allowed him to bounce back from the close decision loss to now-champion Benson Henderson last April.

Joe Ferraro has the news via Twitter:

The UFC 154 card is scheduled for November 17th, 2012 in Montreal's Bell Center and will (fingers crossed) feature Georges St. Pierre defending the welterweight title against the interim champion, Carlos Condit at the very top.
