The UFC Wichita card is rapidly shaping its card for the March 9 event. After revealing its headliner, Junior dos Santos vs. Derrick Lewis, UFC officials recently announced three more fights for the night, on Twitter, including the return of heavyweight veteran Ben Rothwell, who is scheduled to take on Blagoy Ivanov. The company also announced a female bantamweight bout between Marion Reneau and Yana Kunitskaya and a middleweight bout between Tim Boetsch and Omari Akhmedov.

Away from the Octagon for two and a half years because of a failed USADA drug test, Ben Rothwell (36-10) dropped a lopsided unanimous decision to Junior dos Santos back in April 2016.
