Abdul Razak Alhassan will lock horns with Sabah Homasi in a welterweight contest at UFC 218 on Dec. 2.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the pairing on Thursday. UFC 218 takes place at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit and will feature a pivotal heavyweight bout between Alistair Overeem and Francis Ngannou. The evening’s main card will air on pay-per-view.
Alhassan won his first seven pro fights – including a 53-second knockout of Charlie Ward in his UFC debut – before falling to Omari Akhmedov via split decision in his most recent outing at UFC Fight Night 109 on May 28.
