Jeremy Stephens has got himself a fight.
Stephens, who sits at the fifth spot on the official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight rankings, will meet Renato Moicano (via UFC Tonight). The two 145-pounders are set to fight at a UFC on FOX event on April 15.
UFC on FOX 24 takes place inside the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. “Lil’ Heathen” has gone 2-4 in his last six outings. His last bout was a unanimous decision loss to Frankie Edgar inside Madison Square Garden in New York City at UFC 205.
Moicano has yet to suffer a defeat in his professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career. The former interim Jungle Fight featherweight champion has a record of 10-0-1. He made his UFC debut back in Dec. 2014 and earned a submission win over Tom Niinimaki. Moicano didn’t see action again until May 2016, taking a split decision over Zubaira Tukhugov.
