Bouts Added to UFC 98, 99

Josh Koscheck will try to bounce back from his loss to Paulo Thiago when he meets Chris Wilson on May 23 at UFC 98 in Las Vegas.

The UFC confirmed the welterweight matchup on Tuesday and also announced another 170-pound bout between Paul Taylor and Peter Sobotta for UFC 99.

Koscheck fought four times in 2008, going 3-1, and already has one bout under his belt in 2009. He lost to Thiago on Feb. 21, but debate followed over whether the fight was stopped prematurely.

Wilson lost an entertaining split decision to John Howard at UFC 94 on Jan. 31. He is 1-2 in the UFC and 14-5 overall.
