A lightweight match-up between two UFC on FOX 12 winners, Bobby Green and Jorge Masvidal, has been set for UFC 178 in Las Vegas.
UFC officials announced the fight on Tuesday.
Green (23-5) is undefeated in his last eight-fights, with four of those being inside the UFC Octagon. Most recently the 27-year-old took home a split decision victory against top lightweight Josh Thomson. Other notable UFC victories were Jacob Volkmann, James Krause and Pat Healy.

Since that title loss, Masvidal has gone 5-1 with four victories in the UFC. Most recently Masvidal earned a unanimous decision victory against Daron Cruickshank. That bout was his second straight win.
