Jimmie Rivera, Bryan Caraway to co-main event in Phoenix

Phoenix has reportedly received a huge bantamweight co-main event that pits Jimmie “El Terror” Rivera against Bryan Caraway.

The bout was first reported by Gabe Killian of MMA OddsBreaker.

Rivera (20-1) enters the bout on a super impressive 19-fight win streak. He is a veteran of Bellator, Ring of Combat, WSOF, and CFFC. Since joining the UFC roster last year, Rivera has gone a perfect 4-0, most recently beating the legendary Urijah Faber at UFC 203.

Caraway (21-7) is constantly overlooked in the bantamweight division despite his only two losses in the UFC being razor-thin decision defeats to Takeya Mizugaki and perennial contender Raphael Assunção.
