That would be Michael McDonald, who will welcome him back to the Octagon at UFC 145, which takes place on April 21, 2012, at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The promotion brought word of the bout just a short while ago.
Also announced was the seven bouts that were booked for the April card that was going to take place in Montreal have all officially been moved to UFC 145 in Atlanta. Here's how the updated card looks now (sans main event, which is expected to be announced in the coming weeks):
