A bout between Mark Munoz (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and fellow middleweight Ryan Jensen (14-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) is set for the UFC's first-of-the-year event, UFC 108.

Sources close to the bout confirmed with MMAjunkie.com that bout agreements were recently distributed and finalized just today.

Munoz returns to the cage and looks to build off his split-decision win over Nick Catone in August. The former NCAA Division I national wrestling champion and two-time Big 12 champion at Oklahoma State turned pro in 2007 and made his WEC debut just 11 months later.

Munoz went 2-0 in UFC's sister promotion with TKO wins over Chuck Grigsby and Rcardo Barros. However, when the WEC folded its 205-pound class, Munoz was sent to the UFC, where he suffered a violent head-kick KO loss to Matt Hamill at UFC 96 in March. Munoz then dropped to middleweight and picked up the win over Catone.

Although there's some uncertainty about the status of the night's main event, the latest rumored UFC 108 card now includes:
Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight title)*
Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva*
Junior Dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga*
Carlos Condit vs. Paul Daley*
Tyson Griffin vs. Jim Miller*
Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout*
Dan Lauzon vs. Cole Miller*
Ryan Jensen vs. Mark Munoz*
* - Not officially announced
