Kyle Noke says he's fighting Jared Hamman at UFC on FX 2

Australian middleweight Kyle Noke (19-5-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) will apparently get another chance fight in his home country.

Noke recently announced he's fighting Jared Hamman (13-4 MMA, 2-3 UFC) at UFC on FX 2, which takes place March 3 in Sydney, Australia.

UFC executives have yet to announce the matchup.

Featuring a Thiago Alves vs. Martin Kampmann headliner and the opening round of the UFC's four-man flyweight tournament, UFC on FX 2 takes place at Sydney's Allphones Arena and airs live in the U.S. on March 2 due to the time difference.

Noke returns to action for the first time since a painful inverted heel-hook loss to Ed Herman at this past August's UFC on Versus 5 event. The result snapped a five-fight win streak for Noke, a native of New South Wales.

A contestant on "The Ultimate Fighter 11," Noke had been 3-0 in official UFC bouts before the loss.

Meanwhile, Hamman fought most recently at December's UFC 140 event, where he was steamrolled by an impressive Constantinos Philippou. Hamman has fought five times under the UFC banner, including two fights at middleweight, and while he's notched a pair of "Fight of the Night" bonuses, he's had trouble managing any consistency, alternating wins and losses since his November 2009 debut.
