A bantamweight clash pitting Cody Garbrandt and Raphael Assuncao is in the works for a UFC card on June 6, according to a report from MMAFighting.com.
Garbrandt and Assuncao were originally slated to meet at UFC on ESPN 8 in Columbus, Ohio, on March 28, but “No Love” was forced to withdraw from the bout due to kidney issues. The coronavirus pandemic would ultimately force the cancellation of the entire card.
The location and venue for the June 6 event are currently unknown. The card could be the promotion’s next pay-per-view following UFC 249 on May 9, but the upcoming schedule is still tentative.
