The UFC has added a pair of bouts to different events in January.
Scheduled for Jan. 2 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, UFC 195 will feature a featherweight clash between Brian Ortega and Diego Brandao, while lightweights Beneil Dariush and Mairbek Taisumov meet at UFC Fight Night 81 Boston on Jan. 17.
Undefeated in MMA, Ortega (9-0, 1 NC) looks for his second UFC win after stopping Thiago Tavares in a thrilling contest in June. In his previous UFC appearance, Ortega had his submission victory over Mike De La Torre overturned after testing positive for drostanolone.
