Two key welterweight scraps have been added to December’s UFC 207 event, as Johny Hendricks takes on Neil Magny and Matt Brown battles Tarec Saffiedine. ESPN first reported the fights late Tuesday night.
Hendricks (17-5) has dropped two straight and three of four, including losing the UFC welterweight title to Robbie Lawler in late 2014. Magny (18-5) had won three in a row and 10 of 11 before an August loss to Lorenz Larkin.
Brown (20-15) will try to bounce back after consecutive losses to Jake Ellenberger and Demian Maia, while Saffiedine (16-5) has lost two of three.
UFC 207 takes place December 30 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Ronda Rousey returns to challenge Amanda Nunes for the bantamweight title in the main event.
