Three more bouts have been added to the San Antonio card at the UFC Fight Night on July 20 at the AT&T Center.

A heavyweight bout will pit Andrei Arlovski against Ben Rothwell, while a bantamweight bout will feature Ray Borg versus Gabriel Silva. A lightweight match will pose James Vick against Dan Hooker.

With the addition of three fights, the San Antonio card now holds 11 bouts. UFC San Antonio is still searching for its main event.

The heavyweight bout between Arlovski and Rothwell is a rematch 11 years in the making. Arlovski won the first match in 2008 by a third-round knockout in a non-UFC event. This match currently tops the three heavyweight bouts slated for San Antonio.

Arlovski, who is from Belarus, was a heavyweight champion from 2005-06. The match between Arlovski and Rothwell is the oldest on paper, as Arlovski is 40 and Rothwell is 37.

Borg is seeking his first win in bantamweight. In his return to the class in March, Borg (11-4) lost to Casey Kenney in Philadelphia. Silva is a newcomer to UFC, but the 24-year-old is undefeated at 7-0.

Vick (13-3) hails from Fort Worth and the “Texecutioner” is eyeing to bounce back after dropping his last two fights. Vick is No. 15 in the UFC lightweight rankings. Hooker (17-8), a New Zealand native, is also vying to etch his first victory in the octagon since last July.

Hooker favors taking body shots to wear down his opponents, but has a signature finish, which earned him the nickname “The Hangman.”

“I love finishing the fight with chokes,” Hooker said. “Give me half a chance to sink one in and I’ll jump on it.”
