A pair of highly-ranked featherweights will clash when the UFC makes its return to Portland, as Brian Ortega will face off with Hacran Dias at UFC Fight Night 96. The Los Angeles Daily News was the first outlet to break the news.
Ortega, 25, is ranked no. 9 at featherweight and on a three-fight win streak. He most recently bested Clay Guida in June at UFC 199, winning via KO late in the third round.
Dias, 32, currently holds the no. 10 position in the UFC's featherweight division. He enters this fight having won two of his last three, but dropped his last fight in April to Cub Swanson at UFC on FOX 19.
