Jack Shore
will square off against Khalid Taha
in a bantamweight scrap at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event
on Nov. 7.
Taha initially announced the pairing via social media. The card is
expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is
headlined by a light heavyweight duel pitting Thiago
Santos against Glover
Teixeira.
A former Cage Warriors 135-pound champion, Shore has submitted
Nohelin
Hernandez and Aaron
Phillips in his first two Octagon appearances. The 25-year-old
Welshman is 13-0 as a professional, with all but one of his
victories coming inside the distance.
Taha’s most recent victory over Bruno Silva
was overturned to a no contest when Taha tested positive for a
diuretic. Taha’s one-year suspension will end in October. Prior to
that, the Dortmund, Germany, native lost a decision to Nad
Narimani in his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 134 before
knocking out Boston
Salmon in 25 seconds at UFC 236.
