UFC 185 gets heavyweight bout between Jared Rosholt and Josh Copeland

UFC officials announced the matchup on Thursday.

Rosholt (11-2) lost his last bout against Oleksiy Oliynyk, and the first-round knockout was shocking to most.  Prior to that, he got decision wins over Soa Palelei and Daniel Omielanczuk, in 2014.

Copeland (9-1) suffered his first career loss against Ruslan Magomedov in his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 57.  He was called up to the big leagues after a successful stint in RFA.

The card placement for the bout is unknown, but most likely for the preliminary card.

UFC 185 takes place live from the American Airways Center in Dallas, TX on March 14.  In the main event, lightweight champ Anthony Pettis looks to defend his title for the second time against Raphael dos Anjos.
