Luis Arthur Cane (Pictures) will face Jason Lambert (Pictures) at UFC 85 on June 7 in London. Sherdog.com has learned that the contract was signed last week.

Cane, 7-1, belongs to the Gibi Thai Pamplona team. He lost his first bout in his Octagon debut at UFC 79 in December. The Brazilian light heavyweight was disqualified after kneeing James Irvin (Pictures) while Irvin was on the ground. Cane criticized Irvin for not continuing, calling him a "mediocre actor."

Cane is already training with his team in Sao Paulo for the clash against Lambert.

At 23-7, Lambert is coming off a knockout loss to Wilson Gouveia (Pictures) in January. Before that defeat, he had knocked out Renato Sobral (Pictures) in March 2007.

Lambert is a pretty exciting fighter. He likes to push the action even if it puts him in danger. I don't see him ever threatening for the belt at 205 but he's a good addition to most any card.

Yeah, Cane's stand-up looked sharp if I remember correctly. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

I can't wait to see this. I see Lambert getting KO'd though.
