A pair of welterweights will make their UFC debut on the June 13 card.
Christian Aguilera (13-6 MMA) will face Anthony Ivy (8-2 MMA), MMA Junkie confirmed the matchup after an initial report from Sherdog.
The event will take place at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, pending Nevada Athletic Commission approval at a meeting scheduled for this Monday. Broadcast plans have yet to be announced.
Team Oyama’s Aguilera has won his last two in a row and is coming off a unanimous decision win over Glaucio Eliziario at LFA 81 in January.
Winner of his last five in a row, Ivy was pegged as a tentative replacement to face Gerald Meerschaert at UFC 250, but Ian Heinisch was eventually cleared to compete. He will get to make his UFC debut a week later when he takes on fellow promotional debutant, Aguilera.
The entire lineup for the June 13 UFC event includes:
MAIN CARD (9 p.m. E.T.)
PRELIMINARY CARD (6 p.m. E.T.)
