LAS VEGAS — Oft-injured welterweight Mike (Quick) Swick is returning to action.

Swick (14-4) will face Brazilian newcomer Erick Silva (12-1) at UFC 134 in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 27. The Houston native last fought in February 2010 at UFC 109 when he was submitted by Paulo Thiago.

Welterweight star Rick (The Horror) Story, meanwhile, will replace the injured Anthony (Rumble) Johnson against Nate Marquardt on June 26 on a televised UFC card in Pittsburgh.

Story is coming off a UFC 129 win over Thiago (Pit Bull) Alves.

Marquardt is making his debut at 170 pounds.
