A bantamweight bout between George Roop (12-9-1 MMA, 2-5 UFC) and Reuben Duran (8-4-1 MMA, 1-2 UFC) is a late addition to next month’s UFC 158 event.

UFC officials today announced the matchup.

UFC 158 takes place March 16 at Montreal’s Bell Centre, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.

With the TV slots set, Roop vs. Duran likely will be part of the Facebook stream.

This is a do-or-die fight for Roop, who’s lost two straight and who’s 1-3 since his return to the UFC in early 2011. However, the losses have come to notables including Mark Hominick, Hatsu Hioki and Cub Swanson. “The Ultimate Fighter 8” cast member and WEC vet looks for his first win since June 2011, when he stopped Josh Grispi with a body punch.

The California-based Duran looks to snap out of a 1-2 skid that’s included losses to Takeya Mizugaki and Hugo Viana. They were sandwiched around a “Submission of the Night” win over Francisco Rivera that netted him $40,000 and his first and only UFC win.
