UFC bantamweight Nick Pace claims he is lined up to fight former WEC champion Miguel Torres at UFC 139 in November.

While the UFC is yet to confirm the bout, Pace claimed on his Twitter page that the pair will meet in the Octagon at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on November 19, when Dan Henderson and Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua are on the main card.

Both fighters are looking to get back to winning ways after suffering defeat in their last UFC appearance - Pace was beaten by Ivan Menjivar at UFC 133 in August, while Demetrious Johnson got the better of Torres at UFC 130 in May.
