A bantamweight showdown pitting Louis
Smolka against Jose
Alberto Quinonez has been rebooked for
UFC on ESPN 19.
Milenio was first to report the bout. Smolka and Quinonez were
originally slated to meet at UFC Fight Night 182 on Nov. 14, but
the bout was called off when Smolka was deemed medically unfit to
compete after weighing in at 139 pounds one day prior.
UFC on ESPN 19 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is
headlined by a middleweight tilt between Jack
Hermansson and Kevin
Holland.
Smolka will be competing for the second time in 2020 after losing
to Casey
Kenney via first-round submission at UFC on ESPN 9 on May 30.
The 29-year-old Hawaiian is 2-2 during his second promotional
stint, earning victories over Ryan
MacDonald and Su Madaerji.
Quinonez last appeared at UFC 248, where he suffered a first-round
technical knockout loss to Sean O’Malley on March 7. Prior to that
defeat, the 30-year-old Mexican had been victorious in five of his
previous six UFC bouts.
