Multiple outlets confirmed the booking after Bonfim initially
announced the bout on social media. UFC 283 marks the Las
Vegas-based promotion’s first visit to Rio de Janeiro since May
2019. The event does not currently have a headliner.
Lazzez has been victorious in two of his first three Octagon
appearances. Most recently, the Tunisian known as “Sniper”
outpoined Ange Loosa at
UFC on ESPN 34 on April 16. The Team Nogueira Duba representative
is 11-2 as a professional, with eight wins via KO or TKO.
Bonfim earned a UFC contract thanks to a first-round shoulder choke
of Trey
Waters at Dana White’s Contender Series on Sept. 6. The former
Legacy Fighting Alliance welterweight king is 13-0 since beginning
his professional tenure in 2014.
