The 38-year-old bantamweight will compete in his home country when he takes on Marlon Vera at the UFC’s upcoming trip to Buenos Aires on Nov. 17.
This will be the third booking of 2018 for Cannetti, who was inactive for over two years after receiving a lengthy suspension from the USADA for a failed drug test in October 2016. In his return to action in January, he was submitted by Kyung Ho Kang inside of a round, but he got back in the win column with a unanimous decision over Diego Rivas at UFC Chile four months later to improve his record to 8-3.
