A featherweight scrap between Julio Arce and Hakeem Dawodu will go down in New York City.
On Tuesday afternoon, UFC officials confirmed the initial report from The Canadian Press.
Arce (16-3), a veteran of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, is coming off a violent knockout win Julian Erosa at UFC Rochester in May. Prior to this performance, the Florida native saw his seven fight win streak snapped, courtesy of a split decision loss to Sheymon Moraes at UFC 230 in November 2018.
Dawodu (10-1-1) is coming off TKO win over Yoshinori Horie at UFC 240, earning his first Performance of the Night bonus in the process.
