Hacran Dias announces UFC Fight Night 70 bout with Chas Skelly

Moved from Sao Paulo to Florida, UFC Fight Night 70 will feature another Brazilian.

Hacran Dias, a featherweight veteran from Nova Uniao, announced on Monday that he’s facing Chas Skelly at the June 27 UFC card at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.

Dias (22-3-1) recently bounced back from two straight losses, a pair of decisions to Ricardo Lamas and Nik Lentz, with a unanimous decision victory against Darren Elkins in December.

Skelly (14-1), who lost to Mirsad Bektic in his promotional debut at UFC on FOX 11, finished two of his next three opponents, going 3-0 against Tom Niinimaki, Sean Soriano and Jim Alers in a span of six months.
