John Dodson will make his return to the bantamweight division at UFC on Fox 19.
Both fighters recently confirmed the matchup via social media. UFC on Fox 19 takes place at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., on April 16 and is headlined by a lightweight showdown between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov. The evening’s main card will air on the Fox Network.
Dodson, won “The Ultimate Fighter 14” at 135 pounds, will compete at the weight class for the first time since he stopped T.J. Dillashaw in the first round at the reality show’s finale.
