Dave "Pee Wee" Herman (11-0), the undefeated heavyweight who debuted with EliteXC earlier this year, is expected to next fight June 14 at the organization's show in Hawaii -- and his opponent could be veteran fighter Ron Waterman (15-5-2).

A source close to Herman informed MMAjunkie.com (

) of the bout. Additionally, Paul Bradley, one of Herman's friends, mentioned the possible bout in an interview with MMAjunkie.com earlier today.

The June 14 event takes place in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is expected to air on Showtime. It takes place between EliteXC's two events on CBS, which air May 31 and July 26.

Herman, a 6-foot-5 250-pounder, had fought almost monthly since turning pro on New Year's Eve 2006 before signing with EliteXC. Fighting primarily for the Indianapolis-based Legends of Fighting organization, the undefeated fighter has posted eight of his 11 victories via knockout.

Back in February on the "EliteXC: Street Certified" preliminary card, he defeated Mario Rinaldi with a third-round TKO. It was the first time in 11 professional fights that Herman didn't win the fight with a first-round stoppage.

If booked, the 42-year-old Waterman would be Herman's toughest test to date. The former UFC and PRIDE fighter began his career with a 10-1-1 record. After a two-fight losing streak in 2006, he's since rebounded for victories over Rinaldi and Analu Brash.

On Wednesday EliteXC announced that Nick Diaz (15-7) and Muhsin Corbbrey (7-2) would also be a part of the June 14 event. The show is also expected to feature a bout between EliteXC lightweight champ K.J. Noons and Yves Edwards.
