Emil Meek among additions to UFC Fight Night card in Hamburg

The UFC has announced a pair of new match-up for its return to Germany on Sept. 3, and Emil Meek is one of the names added to the card. Meek is scheduled to make his UFC debut against fellow UFC newcomer Jessin Ayari. Also in the welterweight division, Peter Sobotta takes on Nicolas Dalby.

Meek (8-2) shocked the MMA world in May, scoring a devastating first-round knockout over UFC veteran and former WSOF welterweight champion Rousimar Palhares at Venator FC 3. Germany’s Ayari (15-3) enters the Octagon following six straight wins in Europe, including three finishes.
