A fun lightweight matchup has been added to UFC Fight Night 256.
On May 17, Jared Gordon will take on Thiago Moises at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The event is headlined by Gilbert Burns vs. Michael Morales. MMA Junkie confirmed the booking with two sources. The promotion has not yet officially announced the bout.
Gordon (20-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) will compete for the first time in nearly a year after a pair of opponents fell through in February. "Flash" will look to rebound from a split decision loss against Nasrat Haqparast last June, which followed a first-round finish of Mark Madsen in November 2023.
