A middleweight clash pitting Warlley
Alves against Abusupiyan
Magomedov has been added to a UFC
Fight Night event set to go down on May 18.

Alves confirmed the booking on social media following an initial
report from Marcel Dorff on X (formerly known
as Twitter). The event is likely to take place at the UFC Apex in
Las Vegas, but a main event has not been announced. Other matchups
expected for the event include Ramiz
Brahimaj vs. Themba
Gorimbo (welterweight); Luana
Pinheiro vs. Angela Hill
(strawweight); Vanessa
Demopoulos vs. Emily
Ducote (strawweight) and Hailey
Cowan vs. Tamires
Vidal (flyweight).

Alves (14-7), has gone 1-4 in his last five Octagon outings, most
recently suffering a Round 1 technical knockout loss at the hands
of Ikram
Aliskerov at
UFC 294. It was the Brazilian’s first middleweight bout since
his
Ultimate Fighting Championship debut.

Meanwhile, Magomedov (25-6) is on a two-fight skid after suffering
a Round 2 TKO loss against former middleweight champion Sean
Strickland in July and a unanimous decision defeat at the hands
of Caio
Borralho last November.
