Melquizael
Costa will make his second Octagon appearance in a little more
than a month when he squares off against Christian
Rodriguez at UFC
Mexico City on March 29.
Ag.Fight was first to report the featherweight
booking. UFC on ESPN 64 takes place at Arena CDMX in Mexico City
and is headlined by a flyweight clash between Brandon
Moreno and Steve
Erceg.
Costa is coming off a first-round submission victory against
Andre
Fili at UFC
Seattle this past Saturday. The 28-year-old Brazilian has won
three of his last four Octagon appearances after falling to
Thiago
Moises in his promotional debut.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, has won five of his last six in UFC
competition. The
Roufusport representative last appeared at UFC Fight Night 249,
where he removed Austin
Bashi from the ranks of the unbeaten in a unanimous decision
triumph.
