Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will send longtime veteran Jorge Masvidal into battle against Siyar Bahadurzada at the upcoming UFC 201 pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event on July 30, 2016, inside Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
"Gamebred" replaces the injured Claudio Silva.
Despite his levels of talent and experience, Masvidal (29-11) has struggled to find the win column in recent outings, putting together a ho-hum 1-3 record since late 2014. He's currently riding back-to-back decision losses to Ben Henderson and Lorenz Larkin.
Bahadurzada (22-6-1) had his own problems in 2013, coughing up consecutive decision losses to Dong Hyun Kim and John Howard.
