Two fighters looking to get back in the win column after devastating defeats -- Cub Swanson (12-2) and Hiroyuki Takaya (9-5-1) -- will battle it out in a 145-pound clash at WEC 35 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 3, according to Sherdog.com.

Swanson was on the rise until he suffered a setback against Jens Pulver in his return to the featherweight division at WEC 31. "Lil Evil" submitted Swanson just 35 seconds into the first round -- only the second loss of Swanson's pro career.

He actually took a low profile tune-up fight outside the promotion after the defeat, submitting Donnie Walker with a rear naked at an International Fighting & Boxing League (IFBL) bout back in February.

The up-and-comer will look to climb the ladder to a future rematch with Pulver and quite possibly a title shot against Urijah Faber. It will not come easy, however, because Takaya is a tough fighter with impressive punching power.

The "Streetfight Bancho" will look to rebound after suffering a 91-second knockout at the hands of UFC veteran Leonard Garcia at WEC 32 in February. Takaya -- a K-1 and Shooto veteran -- was considered to be a great pick-up for the promotion and was expected to become a future title contender until he was derailed by "Bad Boy."

This fight is expected to be on the televised portion of the WEC 35 card, which is headlined by a ridiculous amount of title fights that include champions Brian Stann, Carlos Condit and Jamie Varner. It will air LIVE on the Versus network at 9 p.m.ET.
