UFC Fight Roundup: New fights set for Melbourne, Monterrey

Two fights were added to upcoming UFC cards in November, the promotion announced Tuesday.

Expected to draw 70,000 fans to the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, on Nov. 14, UFC 193 will feature the return of Brisbane’s Brendan O'Reilly against TUF Brazil 2 runner-up William Macario.

O'Reilly (6-1, 1 no-contest) enters the bout coming off a decision win over Vik Grujic in May in Adelaide, while Macario (7-3) has his back against the wall after losing three of his four UFC fights.

A week later, UFC Fight Night 78 takes place at the Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, Mexico, featuring a battle between Brazilian lightweights Valmir Lazaro and Michel Prazeres.
