A heavyweight bout between contenders Cheick Kongo and Frank Mir is in the works for UFC 107 on December 12. News of the bout was first reported by Sportsnet.ca.

UFC 107 emanates from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee and will be headlined by a light-heavyweight bout between TUF 10 coaches and bitter rivals Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

Kongo (14-5-1) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to fast rising heavyweight prospect Cain Velasquez at UFC 99 last month and dropping his record to 7-3 in 10 fights with the UFC. Kongo holds notable wins Antoni Hardonk, Assuerio Silva, and Mirko Filipovic. Eleven of Kongo's fourteen career wins have come by way of stoppage.

Mir (12-4) is coming off a loss to Brock Lesnar at UFC 100 earlier this month in a heavyweight title unification bout. Prior to the loss, he'd won three straight over Antoni Hardonk, Brock Lesnar and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira respectively. All but two of Mir's 16 career bouts have come with the UFC. Mir made his UFC debut back in November 2001 at UFC 34 and holds notable wins over Wes Sims, Tim Sylvia, Roberto Traven and Tank Abbott.
