Tim
Means and Nicolas
Dalby will square off at
UFC Fight Night 190 after both men lost previously scheduled
opponents.
The promotion announced the new welterweight bout on Tuesday. UFC
Fight Night 190 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on June 26
and is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Ciryl Gane
and Alexander
Volkov.
Means was originally slated to meet Danny
Roberts at UFC on ESPN 25 this Saturday, but Roberts had to
exit the card due to COVID-19 protocols. Meanwhile, Sergey
Khandozhko, Dalby’s original foe, suffered an injury and had to
withdraw from UFC Fight Night 190.
Means has been victorious in three of his last four promotional
appearances. “The Dirty Bird” is coming off a unanimous decision
triumph over Mike Perry
at UFC 255 this past November. The 37-year-old FIT-NHB stalwart is
31-12-1 over the course of a pro career that began in 2004.
Dalby is unbeaten in his last seven professional outings. He is 2-0
with one no contest during his second stint with the Las
Vegas-based promotion, including a three-round verdict over
Daniel
Rodriguez in his last outing at UFC 255.
