Guilherme Vasconcelos vs. Luke Zachrich joins UFC 175 lineup

A middleweight bout between Guilherme Vasconcelos (3-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Luke Zachrich (13-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) is the latest addition to July’s UFC 175 lineup.

UFC officials today announced the bout.

UFC 175 takes place July 5 at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Vasconcelos vs. Zachrich will likely be part of the prelims.

Vasconcelos makes his promotional debut after turning pro in 2012 and racking up a 3-1 pro record. His most recent documented pro fight took place in June 2013, when the Brazilian grappling specialist earned a submission victory over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (10-3 at the time) at Jungle Fight 54. He also recently appeared on “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3? but was bounced from the tournament in a recent episode.

Zachrich, meanwhile, recently made his long-awaited UFC debut as a short-notice replacement at UFC on FOX 11. Although he appeared on “TUF 7? in 2008, he didn’t get a fight immediately after the show and instead hit the regional circuit. After winning three straight (and 10 of 11), he took on Caio Magalhaes at UFC on FOX 11 this past month but suffered a TKO loss.

The latest UFC 175 card now includes:

• Champ Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida – for middleweight title
• Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis – for women’s bantamweight title
• Wanderlei Silva vs. Chael Sonnen
• Matt Mitrione vs. Stefan Struve
• Uriah Hall vs. Thiago “Marreta” Santos
