McKinney announced the pairing via social media, and it was later

MMAjunkie.com. UFC 283 takes place on Jan. 21 at Jeunesse Arena
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and features a flyweight title tilt
between Deivesion Figueiredo and Brandon
Moreno.
McKinney has won six of his last seven professional outings. The
28-year-old Spokane, Wash., native is 3-1 in UFC competition, with
first-round finishes of Erick
Gonzalez, Fares Ziam
and Matt
Frevola to his credit. His lone defeat in his last seven bouts
came at the hands of Drew Dober at
UFC Fight Night 203 this past March.
Bonfim, meanwhile, earned a UFC contract after besting Nariman
Abbasov via unanimous decision on Dana White’s Contender Series
on Sept. 6. The 26-year-old Cerrado MMA representative is 18-3 as a
professional, with 12 victories coming inside the distance.
