The Ultimate Fighting Championship can seemingly
pair any two reliable action welterweights for potentially
thrilling results.

Per MMA
DNA
on Friday, a 170-pound rumble has been booked for
UFC Fight Night 197
on Nov. 13. Inside the UFC Apex in Las
Vegas, Miguel
Baeza
(10-1) will square off against Kalinn
Williams
(12-2). On its Instagram stories, Baeza’s gym of MMA
Masters
confirmed
the pairing shortly after its announcement.

Baeza suffered his first career defeat in June, coming up short by
unanimous verdict to Santiago
Ponzinibbio
. Before that loss, “Caramel Thunder” had beaten all
10 of the men he faced, including three inside the Octagon. All
three of his UFC victories to that point had been by second-round
stoppage, knocking out Hector
Aldana
and Matt Brown
before tapping Takashi
Sato
in November 2020. The 29-year-old from Florida celebrates
a high finish rate of 80% in a career that began in 2015.

Williams bounced back from his first loss on the UFC roster – a
decision setback to Michel
Pereira
– by claiming a win on the scorecards over Matthew
Semelsberger
in June. “Khaos the Oxfighter” burst on to the
scene in 2020 when he scorched Alex Morono
in 27 seconds at UFC 247 in his promotional debut on short notice,
only to follow it up with a 30-second thrashing of Abdul
Razak Alhassan
later that year. Like his foe, Williams
maintains a knockout rate above 50%, exactly one submission on his
ledger, and neither he nor Baeza have ever been stopped as
professionals.

On Nov. 13, UFC Fight Night 197 will take place in Las Vegas at the
UFC Apex, with a much-anticipated featherweight clash between
Max
Holloway
and Yair
Rodriguez
. While the official bout order has not yet been
established, additional key matchups on the card include a
featherweight fight between Felicia
Spencer
and Leah
Letson
, a flyweight bout pitting Jessica Eye
against Andrea Lee
and a middleweight rematch between Kevin
Holland
and Kyle
Daukaus
.
