Heavyweights Dave "Pee Wee" Herman (21-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Mike Russow (14-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) will clash in October.

UFC officials recently announced the matchup, which takes place at UFC 136.

Although a main event has yet to be confirmed, UFC 1356 takes place Oct. 8 at Houston's Toyota Center. A UFC Fan Expo also coincides with the fight card.

Herman made his UFC debut in JUne with a "Fight of the Night" TKO win over Jon Olan Einemo. The enigmatic heavyweight currently carries a three-fight win streak that also includes victories over Yoshihiro Nakao and Michael Kita.

Meanwhile, Russow returns to action after a March TKO victory over Jon Madsen. Currently riding an impressive 10-fight win streak, Russow is probably best remembered for his May 2010 "Knockout of the Night" stoppage of Todd Duffee.

The evening's main card airs on pay-per-view, though it's uncertain where the Herman vs. Russow matchup is slated on the card's schedule.
