A welterweight bout between contenders Chad Laprise and Jingliang Li has been tacked onto the UFC 206 card. UFC officials announced the matchup on Friday afternoon.
UFC 206 takes place on Dec. 10 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada, which is Laprise’s hometown. Laprise, the winner of “The Ultimate Fighter: Nations,” will move back up to 170 pounds after announcing recently that he will no longer campaign as a lightweight. “The Disciple” last fought at UFC on Fox 21, where he trounced Thibault Gouti in just 96 seconds, but the Adrenaline Training Center fighter missed the 155-pound weight limit by three pounds.
