UFC 244 is coming together quickly. Just a few days after announcing a headlining fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal for the mythical “BMF” title, the promotion has announced another 170-pound fight that will have implications on that rankings.
Brett Okamoto of ESPN reports via Twitter that Stephen Thompson will meet Vicente Luque at the November event:
Breaking: Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson vs. Vicente Luque has been added to UFC 244 on Nov. 2 in NYC, per Dana White. Wonderboy wanted to return to MSG and Luque, 10-2 in the UFC, hails from nearby New Jersey.
