Horn hopes to rebound from back-to-back losses, to Nathan Marquardt (26-8-2) at UFC 81 in February and to Dean Lister (11-5) at the TUF finale in June.

He was submitted both times by guillotine choke.

American Top Team fighter Gouveia is also looking to come back from a 24 May loss. He was TKO’d by UFC newcomer Goran Reljic (8-0) in round two.
