New York - UFC on Versus 4 is still two months away, but that hasn't stopped the organization from starting to work on UFC on Versus 5.

Cole Miller vs. T.J. O'Brien and Amir Sadollah vs. Duane "Bang" Ludwig were officially added to the August card on Tuesday afternoon.

No exact date or location has been announced for the event just yet.

Ludwing and Sadollah were supposed to fight at UFC Fight Night 24 in March, but a sternum injury forced "Bang" to pull out of the fight. Ludwig (20-11)  is 1-2 since returning to the UFC, with his most recent win coming against Nick Osipczak at UFC 122.

Sadollah improved his MMA record to 5-2 at UFN 24 last month, defeating late replacement DaMarques Johnson via second-round verbal submission after unleashing an onslaught of elbows on the ground. The win was Sadollah's second in a row after a unanimous decision loss to Dong Hyun Kim at UFC 114 last May.

Meanwhile, Miller (17-5) is 2-2 in his last four fights. He most recently lost to Matt Wiman at UFC Fight for the Troops 2 in January via unanimous decision.

O'Brien (16-4) dropped his Octagon debut to Paul Kelly at UFC 123 via second-round TKO. Prior to the loss, O'Brien had won his last six in a row.
