Seasoned middleweights Brad Tavares and Jun Yong Park are slated to trade leather in July.
Tavares (20-9) and Park (17-6) will meet at UFC Fight Night on July 20 at the promotion’s Apex facility in Las Vegas. The matchup was first announced by Park’s representatives, First Round Management Asia, on social media.
Tavares is currently 1-3 in his last four and will enter the Octagon fresh off a technical knockout loss to Gregory Rodrigues in February. Tavares will make his 25th UFC appearance against Park.
Meanwhile, Park is coming off a controversial split-decision loss to Andre Muniz in February that snapped a four-fight winning streak that included three submissions.
