Coming off a strong victory over Rob Kimmons at UFC 122, Australian Kyle Noke (18-4, 1 draw/UFC 2-0) will return back to home-country of Australia to take on Chris Camozzi (14-3/UFC 2-0) on the UFC 127 card scheduled for Acer Arena on February 27.

MMAWeekly.com first broke the news today, with Noke confirming it on his facebook account a few hours later.

Both Noke and Camozzi were cast-members on the eleventh season of The Ultimate Fighter where they were on opposing sides. Unfortunately for Camozzi his tenure on the show was very short with UFC president Dana White advising him he would not be able to continue due to a broken jaw suffered in his preliminary-round victory over Victor O'Donnell.

Noke made it all the way to the quarter-finals before he was defeated by close friend Kris McCray in the quarter-finals. 

Both returned for the season ending finale and were victorious, with Noke defeating Josh Bryant by TKO in round two while Camozzi won a unanimous decision over James Hammortree.

At UFC 121 Camozzi edged out South Korean UFC debutant Dongi Yang by a split-points decision and will come into the fight on a four fight win streak, with his last loss being to Jesse Taylor in March, 2009. 

Originaly from Dan Higgins' Integrated Martial Arts Gym in Brisbane, Noke now calls Greg Jacksons' gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico home and is coming off a strong submission victory over Rob Kimmons at UFC 122. He will come into the fight on a four fight win streak with his last loss occuring to Scott Smith on Elite XC in February, 2008.

Although not officially announced the Ultimate Fighting Championships, UFC 127 is scheduled to take part on February 27 at the Acer Arena and will be headlined by former Lightweight and Welterweight UFC champion B.J. Penn taking on Jon Fitch.

Also on the card Michael Bisping will take on Jorge Rivera while fellow Australian George Sotiropoulos will attempt to keep his UFC undefeated streak alive when he takes on German Dennis Siver

As Fightnewsaustralia.com first reported Sydney fighter James Te Huna will also appear on the card against an opponent to be confirmed.
