A light heavyweight matchup is heading to Las Vegas next month.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Mike Rodriguez and Marcin Prachnio will square off at the UFC’s event on Aug. 22. The fight card will take place at the UFC APEX.
Rodriguez will look to pick up his second octagon victory after earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series with a highlight reel flying knee knockout over Jamelle Jones. After dropping his promotional debut to Devin Clark, the Massachusetts native finished Adam Milstead in the first round at UFC on FOX 31.
