Ultimate Fighter 9 contestant DaMarques Johnson will look to rebound from a recent defeat when he meets Ultimate Fighter 13 veteran Clay Harvision at UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou on September 17th in New Orleans. The welterweight matchup is likely to take place on the undercard of the event. MMA Junkie has it:

A welterweight bout between "The Ultimate Fighter" alumni DaMarques Johnson (12-9 MMA, 3-3 UFC) and Clay Harvison (9-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will be part of September's UFC Fight Night 25 event.

Officials today announced verbal agreements are in place for the fight.

Johnson has has had an up-and-down campaign in the UFC. He lost the TUF 9 contract to James Wilks at the finale, then picked up two bonuses with two wins in a row over Edgar Garcia and Brad Blackburn. He has gone just 1-2 since then though, most recently being submitted by Amir Sadollah at UFC Fight Night 24 in March. Harvison was eliminated in the quarter-finals of TUF 13 by Ramsey Nijem, but won his official UFC debut over Justin Edwards by split-decision at the TUF 13 Finale.
