Torrez
Finney will make his first Octagon foray against Robert
Valentin at UFC
Fight Night on April 5.
Both Finney and Valentin confirmed the middleweight booking on
social media following an initial report from Eurosport NL. UFC Fight Night is expected to
take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. A headliner has not been
announced for the event.
The 26-year-old Finney has kicked off his professional career with
10 consecutive triumphs. He notably needed three victories on
Dana White’s Contender Series before he could secure a
UFC contract. The most recent of those wins occurred this past
October, when he stopped Abdelah
Er-Ramy in the opening stanza.
Valentin made it to the finals of “The Ultimate Fighter 32” before
suffering a second-round TKO defeat to Ryan Loder
at UFC on ESPN 62 this past August. The Zurich, Switzerland, native
owns a 10-4 career mark and has finished all but one of his
victories inside the distance.
