Former flyweight title challenger Ali Bagautinov will face Geane Herrera at UFC Fight Night Ottawa on June 18.
Promotion officials announced the pairing on Thursday. UFC Fight Night takes place at TD Place Arena and is headlined by a welterweight clash pitting Rory MacDonald against Stephen Thompson. The evening’s main card will air on Fox Sports 1.
After winning his first three promotional appearances, Bagautinov dropped a five-round decision to Demetrious Johnson in a title bid at UFC 174 in June 2014. He was then suspended for a year for testing positive for erythropoietin (EPO) in an out-of-competition drug test.
