Tor Troéng said he was ready to return to the cage after a recent shoulder injury, and the Swede got his wish. The Hammer will face American Trevor Smith in Dublin, Ireland on July 19th. He announced the news via Twitter.
Smith lost to Thales Leites in his last outing in April. He has an overall record of 11 wins and 5 losses, and fights out of Ring Demon Jiu-Jitsu.

Troeng had been matched-up with Robert McDaniel on the UFC 171 card in Dallas on March 15, but an injury prevented the Renji fighter from stepping into the Octagon.
The Swede will join Nordic fighters Ilir Latifi and Gunnar Nelson on the card.
The UFC was last in Dublin in 2009 for UFC 93.
