A featherweight showdown between Hakeem
Dawodu and Movsar
Evloev is on tap for UFC
263.
MMA DNA was first to report the booking. UFC 263 takes place at
a currently undisclosed location and features a flyweight
championship rematch between Deiveson
Figueiredo and Brandon
Moreno.
The 29-year-old Dawodu has been on a roll, winning his last five
appearances within the Las Vegas based promotion. Four of those
victories have gone the distance, including a split verdict over
Zubaira
Tukhugov in his most recent outing at UFC 253 last
September.
A former M-1 Global champion, Evloev has run his professional mark
to 14-0 with triumphs in his first four UFC bouts. That resume
notably includes a decision over English prospect Mike Grundy
at UFC on ESPN 14 and a split-decision victory against the
now-retired Nik Lentz at
UFC 257.
