Mirko Cro Cop's UFC 128 collision with Brendan Schaub has been made official by the UFC.

Cro Cop has not fought since he suffered a third-round knockout at the hands of Frank Mir in what has to go down as one of the worst fights of 2010. President Dana White was not happy with either man after the bout, so the pressure is on Cro Cop to impress.

The Croatian has been serving a five-month medical suspension as a consequence of that KO against Mir, delivered by a big knee, and he recently revealed he would make his return in February.

However, Cro Cop's comeback will happen on March 19 at the Prudential Center, where he takes on an opponent in Brendan Schaub who is on a three-fight win streak after beating Gabriel Gonzaga.

UFC 128 is headlined by the light-heavyweight title clash between Mauricio Shogun Rua and Rashad Evans.
