A light heavyweight matchup between Contender Series contract winners is set for the UFC’s next pay-per-view event.
After earning a full-on roster spot with the UFC this past Tuesday night at DWCS Season 4: Week 5, William Knight will make his octagon debut on less than a month’s notice and face Aleksa Camur at UFC 253 on Sept. 26. The new addition to the event—which is slated to take place in Abu Dhabi—was announced during the UFC Vegas 9 broadcast Saturday night.
Knight first competed on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2019 and picked up a third-round TKO win over Herdem Alacabek.
