A welterweight showdown pitting Miguel
Baeza against Dhiego Lima
is set for a UFC card on April 16.
Both fighters confirmed the booking on social media following an
initial report from
Best Fight Picks. UFC Fight Night does not have a location or
headliner at this time.
An alum of Dana White’s Contender Series, Baeza has lost two
straight in the Octagon after beginning his promotional tenure with
three consecutive finishes. During his current skid, the MMA
Masters representative dropped an entertaining three-round verdict
to Santiago
Ponzinibbio at UFC Fight Night 189 last June before suffering a
third-round TKO defeat at the hands of Kalinn
Williams at UFC Fight Night 197 on Nov. 13.
Lima is also on a two-bout losing streak after falling to Belal
Muhammad and Matt Brown in
a pair of 2021 UFC appearances. Prior to that, the two-time
“Ultimate Fighter” cast member authored a three-fight winning
streak in the Octagon that included triumphs over Chad
Laprise, Court McGee
and Luke
Jumeau.
