Lightweights Mike Brown and Nam Phan have recently been added to UFC 133, according to MMAJunkie.com.

Brown is heading into this bout in a must-win situation, going 2-4 in his last six bouts. Brown last fought at UFC 125 in a bout that saw him on the losing end of a split decision to Diego Nunes. Brown followed that up with another decision loss, this time to Rani Yahya at UFC Fight Night 23. 

Phan will be heading into this bout following a controversial split decision loss to Leonard Garcia at The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale. According to MMAJunkie, Phan was scheduled to rematch Garcia at UFC Fight Night 24, but a foot injury forced him to withdraw.

The loss also puts Phan into a tough position, as he too will be desperately seeking a win after going win-less in three of his last four bouts. 

Although the main card looks to be finalized with bouts like Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis and Rich Franklin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, the fight between Brown and Phan will likely been featured on the preliminary card. 

UFC 133 will take place on August 6, live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
