Light heavyweights Igor Pokrajac (22-8 MMA, 1-3 UFC) and Todd Brown (15-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) are the latest additions to UFC on Versus 3's fight card, which now numbers 12 bouts. The UFC recently announced the matchup via its website. UFC on Versus 3 takes place March 3 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., and the event's main card airs live on Versus. Welterweights Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann headline the show while a middleweight matchup between C.B. Dollaway and Mark Munoz serves as the co-main draw. Pokrajac vs. Brown will be part of the untelevised preliminary card.Both Pokrajac and Brown could be fighting for their jobs. Pokrajac, a training partner of former PRIDE champion and current UFC heavyweight Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, is 1-3 since he first entered the octagon at UFC 103 and lost a decision to Vladimir Matyushenko. Most recently, he took on promotion staple Stephan Bonnar at The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale and lost by decision. The setback snuffed out a ray of light in his previous appearance when he submitted James Irvin at UFC on Versus 2 in August.Brown has not fought since his UFC debut, in which he lost a unanimous decision to Tim Boetsch at UFC 117. It was just his second professional setback and snapped a five-fight win streak in regional competition. The Indianan trains out of his own Bulldog Fight Team alongside UFC veteran Steve Lopez.
