Another UFC veteran is headed to Eagle Fighting Championship.
Four-time Octagon competitor Yorgan De
Castro is expected to face Shaun Asher
in a heavyweight bout at Eagle FC 44 on Jan. 28.
Cageside Press was first to report the booking. Eagle FC 44
takes place at FLXcast Arena in Miami and is headlined by a
heavyweight tilt between Tyrone
Spong and Sergei
Kharitonov. De Castro has reportedly signed a multi-fight deal
with Eagle FC.
De Castro earned a UFC contract on Season 3 of Dana White’s
Contender Series before going 1-3 within the Las Vegas-based
promotion. He returned to the win column this past November, when
he outpointed Danyelle
Williams at CES 65 to run his career mark to 7-3.
Asher, 42, will bring a 13-4-1 record into the matchup with De
Castro. Most recently, the Cincinnati, Ohio, native suffered a
55-second TKO defeat to Steve Mowry
at Bellator 257.
