Jingliang Li will lock horns with Carlos Prates in a welterweight tilt at UFC 305.
Prates confirmed the booking on social media following an initial report from UFC Weibo. UFC 305 takes place at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, on Aug. 17 and is headlined by a middleweight championship clash between Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya.
Li hasn’t competed since September 2022, when he suffered a split-decision loss against Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 279. The 36-year-old China Top Team representative is 11-6 since beginning his promotional tenure in 2014.
