The UFC is hoping the third time is the charm when it comes to a middleweight booking pitting Phil Hawes against Deron Winn.
Hawes and Winn will lock horns at a UFC Fight Night event on June 18. Winn confirmed the pairing via Facebook following an initial report from MMAFighting.com. The card is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas but does not currently have a headliner.
Hawes and Winn were scheduled to fight on two different occasions in 2021, but both times Winn was forced to withdraw from the proposed bouts.
