After three years away, Nicolas Dalby is headed back to the Octagon.
Dalby, the Cage Warriors interim welterweight champion, announced Monday on social media that he has re-signed with the UFC and will be competing at UFC Copenhagen on Sept. 28.
Dalby made his UFC debut in 2015, winning a split decision against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. After that, he fought then-future title challenger Darren Till to a draw, but lost his next two fights and was subsequently released from the promotion.
Dalby lost his first fight out of the UFC — a split decision to current UFC fighter Carlo Pedersoli at Cage Warriors 93 in April 2018 — but is now on a four-fight unbeaten streak.
