Bantamweights Ricardo Ramos, Aiemann Zahabi Booked for UFC 217 in New York

Aiemann Zahabi and Ricardo Lucas Ramos will square off in a bantamweight bout at UFC 217, promotion officials announced Wednesday.

UFC 217 takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York and is headlined by a middleweight title tilt between Michael Bisping and Georges St. Pierre. A bantamweight championship clash between Cody Garbrandt and T.J. Dillashaw is also rumored for the event but has not been formally announced by the UFC.

Ramos improved to 10-1 as a professional with a unanimous decision victory against Michinori Tanaka in his initial Octagon foray at UFC Fight Night 104 on Feb.
