A welterweight match-up between Matt Riddle and Besam Yousef has been booked for UFC 154.
Yousef was originally slated to fight Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, however Thompson was forced to withdraw due to injury.
Riddle (6-3-1NC) last fought in Calgary at UFC 149, where he won via submission against Chris Clements. However, that fight was overturned due to Riddle failing a post-fight drug test. He was suspended for 90 days for testing positive for marijuana.
Yousef (6-1) was undefeated until his UFC debut, where he lost to Simeon Thoresen on UFC on FUEL: Gustafsson vs. Silva .
UFC 154 is set to go down on November 17 from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The main event is for the welterweight title, as Georges St-Pierre looks to defend his world welterweight championship against interim champion Carlos Condit.
