A bantamweight clash between Felipe Arantes and Josh Emmett was added to UFC’s upcoming event in Gdansk, Poland, on Oct. 21, the promotion announced Friday.
Arantes (18-8-1, 2 no-contest) was scheduled to meet Luke Sanders at last week’s UFC Pittsburgh, but was forced out of the bout a day before the event due to illness. “Sertanejo” is 2-1 since cutting down to 135 pounds, finishing Yves Jabouin and Jerrod Sanders before a decision defeat versus Erik Perez.
Emmett (11-1) looks to rebound from his first MMA loss to Desmond Green in April, when he lost via split decision.
