There's an intriguing welterweight match-up brewing between 170-pound standouts Martin Kampmann and Paulo Thiago as the Las Vegas Sun reports the two have verbally agreed to a showdown at UFC 115 on June 12 from Vancouver.

Kampmann appears to be on the mend after withdrawing from his UFC 111 fight against Ben Saunders to heal a grisly eyelid gash he suffered in training.

"The Hitman" emptied his clip into Jacob Volkmann when "Christmas" rang in the New Year for the injured Rory Markham at the UFC 108: "Evans vs. Silva" event earlier this year.

It was a much needed win for the Dane, who saw his title aspirations evaporate at the hands of Paul "Semtex" Daley back at UFC 103: "Franklin vs. Belfort" in September 2009. No question he'll be looking to inch his way back into contention by arresting the rise of the Brazilian supercop.

Thiago has made a habit out of spoiling the progress of top welterweights from the American Kickboxing Academy, including his debut win over Josh Koscheck at UFC 95 back in 2009.

Aside from Jobn Fitch, who outworked him en route to a unanimous decision win at UFC 100, Thiago made "Quick" work of Mike Swick at February's UFC 109 event to cement himself as the real deal and not just a flash in the pan.

He'll need to be careful with Kampmann, who has skills both on his feet and on the ground -- but more importantly may be fighting to stay relevant in the 170-pound division after the loss to "Semtex."

UFC 115 is expected to feature the third (and hopefully final ) dance between former light heavyweight champions Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, fresh off their coaching gigs at The Ultimate Fighter 11. Mirko Cro Cop and Pat Barry are also expected to hook 'em up.
