In his first fight since winning the welterweight crown on “The Ultimate Fighter 9,” James Wilks (6-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is expected to face fast-rising 170-pounder Matt Brown (9-7 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in October at UFC 105.

A source close to the event told MMAjunkie.com the bout is “close to finalized” and that bout agreements could be signed shortly.

UFC 105 takes place Nov. 14 at the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England, and the Wilks vs. Brown fight is expected to be part of the Spike TV-televised (tape delay) main card.
