Three new match-ups were added to UFC Fight Night 35 in January as Adlan Amagov takes on Jason High, Brian Houston faces off with Trevor Smith and lightweights Justin Edwards squares off with Ramsey Nijem.
UFC officials announced the latest match-ups on Sunday.
Amagov vs. High, Houston vs. Smith and Edwards vs. Nijem added to UFC Fight Night 35
Amagov (13-2-1) is 2-0 inside the UFC and riding a three-fight winning streak. Most recently he beat TJ Waldburger via knockout at UFC 166 in October. High (18-4) is also 2-0 inside the Octagon and most recently picked up a big unanimous decision victory over Anthony Lapsley at UFC 167.
Houston (4-1) is looking to bounce back after a loss in his UFC debut. At UFC Fight Night 31 “B-Hue” was rear-naked choked by Derek Brunson. Smith (10-4) is also looking to get his first win inside the Octagon, as he lost his debut via split decision against Ed Herman at UFC on FOX 8.
Edwards (8-3) has had a roller-coaster ride of a UFC career thus far and will look to get back in the win column after losing via knockout to Brandon Thatch at UFC Fight Night 27. Nijem (7-4) is currently riding a two-fight losing skid – most recently he lost via guillotine choke against James Vick at UFC Fight Night 26.
UFC Fight Night 35 goes down on January 15 from the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. The main event is a middleweight showdown between Luke Rockhold and Constantinos Philipppou.
