A rematch between Jussier Formiga (23-5) and Joseph Benavidez (27-5) headlines a recent announcement of fights added to UFC on ESPN 4 in Minneapolis.
The duo first competed against each other at UFC Fight Night 28 back in September 2013 with Benavidez winning with a first-round TKO.
Formiga has since won eight of his next 10 fights and is currently on a four-fight winning streak. Benavidez has also won eight of 10 fights since that first meeting.
The winner of the bout, which will serve as the night’s co-main event, will ideally be next in line to challenge for Henry Cejudo‘s flyweight title.
Also added to the card is a lightweight bout between Drew Dober and Marco Polo Reyes. Heavyweights Maurice Green and Junior Albini are in action as well while 205-pounders Roman Dolidze and Vinicius Moreira will also do battle.
UFC on ESPN 4 takes place June 29 with the main event being a rematch between former welterweight champions Tyron Woodley and Robbie Lawler.
