A compelling welterweight fight has been added to the UFC’s final event of 2018.
MMAjunkie confirmed on Monday that Curtis Millender will take on veteran Siyar Bahadurzada at UFC 232 on December 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC officials have not formally announced the fight, although that’s expected soon. The night’s main card airs live on pay-per-view, while the prelims will be split between FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Millender (16-3) is on an eight-fight winning streak, with two of those victories coming under the UFC banner. “Curtious” Curtis wowed fans with a KO of former welterweight title challenger Thiago Alves in February, then took apart Max Griffin by unanimous decision at UFC 226.
