A new light heavyweight clash between Khalil Rountree and Marcin Prachnio has joined the lineup for UFC 257 on Jan. 23.
UFC officials announced the pairing during Saturday’s UFC 256 broadcast. The card will be headlined by the return of Conor McGregor as he faces off with former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier.
After hinting at retirement, Rountree ultimately decided to continue his fighting career as he returns in January while attempting to bounce back from a loss in his last outing against Ion Cutelaba in 2019.
