Alessio
Di Chirico will meet Roman
Dolidze in a middleweight matchup at UFC Fight Night on June
5.
BJPenn.com was first to report the booking. The card does not
have an official location or headliner but is expected to include a
heavyweight showdown between Walt Harris
and Marcin
Tybura on the bill.
Di Chiricio last appeared at UFC on ABC 1, when he halted a
three-fight skid with a head-kick knockout of Joaquin
Buckley on Jan. 16. The 31-year-old Italian is 4-5 during his
promotional tenure and 13-5 as a professional overall.
Dolidze began his pro career with eight consecutive triumphs before
dropping a unaniomus decision to Trevin
Giles in his most recent outing at UFC on ESPN 21 on March 20.
The 32-year-old Georgian fighter had earned decision wins over
Khadis
Ibragimov and John Allan
in his first two UFC appearances before that defeat.
