Undefeated Welshman Brett Johns (14-0) meets Joe Soto (18-5) in the Octagon on Dec. 1 at the Park Theater in Las Vegas, Nev., the UFC announced Tuesday.
This is the fourth fight booking of 2017 for Johns, who has seen two of his last three bouts canceled. A March 18 encounter with Ian Entwistle was removed from the card the day of the fight when a doctor ruled Entwistle unfit to compete after he came in three pounds overweight the previous day.
Johns went on to win a unanimous decision over Albert Morales in June, but his next fight at UFC Glasgow was derailed by an injury to opponent Mitch Gagnon.
