mattserraUFC welterweight fighters Matt Serra (11-6) and Chris Lytle (29-17-5) will rematch one another at the upcoming UFC 119 in Indianapolis.

The fight was first reported by MMAjunkie.com who noted that both fighters have agreed to face one another but have yet to sign the bout agreements.

They first faced each other in the welterweight Finale of “The Ultimate Fighter 4: The Comeback” in November of 2006. Serra earned a split decision from the judges to earn the win over Lytle.

Serra, who since then, has gone on to win the UFC welterweight title, earned a victory in his last fight after losing two straight. At UFC 109 he faced Frank Trigg knocking him out in the first round ending Trigg’s hopes of returning to the UFC. He fought once in 2009 and 2008, losing bouts to Matt Hughes and to Georges St-Pierre, who won his title back from Serra at UFC 83.

Lytle, meanwhile has gone on to win a few and lose a few since facing Serra, putting together a 7-3 record since the loss at the TUF 4 Finale. One thing he has done though is win numerous “Fight Night” honors, earning 7 bonuses including 4 “Fight of the Night” awards. Lytle has won his past three bouts having submitted Matt Brown at last weekends UFC 116 event, Brian Foster at UFC 110, and Kevin Burns at the “TUF 9″ Finale.

The yet to be officially announced UFC 119, is believed to take place at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Sept. 25.

In what should come as no surprise, Brock Lesnar was the highest paid fighter during last weekend’s UFC 116 event from Las Vegas with a reported $400,000 paycheck for his efforts. In what should come as a minor surprise to many, his opponent Shane Carwin picked up $40,000 for his troubles, which means Lesnar was paid ten-times the amount Carwin was for his appearance in the main event of the evening.

Also among the highest paid athletes to compete at UFC 1116 were Chris Leben ($86,000), who also picked up a hefty “Fight of the Night” bonus check for his third round triangle submission of Yoshihiro Akiyama in a back-and-forth war between middleweights, and Chris Lytle ($52,000) who submitted Matt Brown with a nasty reverse triangle/straight armlock in a welterweight battle.

A full list of the disclosed fighter salaries for UFC 116 is below:

Brock Lesnar: $400,000 (no win bonus) def. Shane Carwin: $40,000

Despite unique submission win, UFC 116′s Chris Lytle still a boxer at heart

For the second time in his career, UFC welterweight Chris Lytle kept Matt Brown at bay with a second-round submission at UFC 116. And he did it with a hold he's used in competition before.

But despite the unique submissions he pulled out of his hat this past Saturday - and one he fought out of - Lytle didn't give himself much of a pat on the back.

"Those (submissions) were just kind of luck I guess," Lytle said. "I'm not very good on the ground. I'm a boxer, pure and simple."

Cincinnati badass Matt Brown doesn't even have the footage from his August 2007 fight with Chris Lytle. But he does remember putting it on the veteran before falling prey to a second-round submission.

And after a small taste of success against the veteran, Brown feels confident that Lytle won't try to duck his punches when they meet again on Saturday at UFC 116.

"I think he's in a different mindset than he was at that point," Brown told MMAjunkie.com Radio.
