“Mississippi Mean” is headed to the big city.
Jason Knight will face Jordan Rinaldi in a featherweight bout at UFC 230 on Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The two fighters confirmed the meeting on their social media accounts following an initial report by Newsday.
This is a pivotal matchup for Knight (20-5), a fan favorite who has lost his last three fights after starting 4-1 with the UFC. He was last seen losing a split decision to Makwan Amirkhani at UFC Liverpool in May.
