The news was first reported by MMA Mania’s Alex Behunin and later
confirmed by Hubbard on Instagram. The event is set to take place
at UFC Apex in Las Vegas with no headliner announced yet.
Hubbard (15-7) will enter the Octagon on the heels of a Round 2
submission loss to Kurt
Holobaugh in “The
Ultimate Fighter” lightweight finals at UFC
292. Prior to his recent appearance on “TUF,” the
Elevation Fight Team product racked up a two-fight win streak
on the regional scene in 2022. Hubbard went 3-4 during his initial
Ultimate Fighting Championship stint from 2019 to 2021.
Meanwhile, Poland’s Figlak (8-1) is coming off his first
professional mixed martial arts loss to Fares Ziam
in his promotional debut in September 2022. The lightweight
prospect has not competed since that bout.
Other confirmed matchups on the card include a women’s flyweight
meeting between Karine
Silva and Ariane
Lipski and a lightweight clash pitting UFC veteran Lando
Vannata against
Dana White’s Contender Series2023 graduate James
Llontop.
