A pair of matches have been added to the UFC Fight Night 43 event in Albuquerque. Bantamweights Sergio Pettis and Yaotsin Meza, as well as flyweights John Dodson and John Moraga will square off inside the Octagon.
UFC officials announced the pair of fights on Wednesday.
Pettis (10-1) made his UFC debut with a splash at UFC 167, earning an exciting unanimous decision win against Will Campuzano. His next match-up didn’t fair so well, as it was the first loss on his resume, against Alex Caceres at UFC on FOX 10.
Meza (20-9) has been in the fight game since 2006 and has gone 1-2 under the UFC banner. Most recently the MMA Lab fighter lost a unanimous decision to Chico Camus at UFC on FOX 10.
Dodson (15-6) won the 14th season of The Ultimate Fighter when he knocked out T.J. Dillashaw in the very first round of their finale fight. He earned his way to a title shot against Demetrious Johnson, however came up short on the judges scorecards. Since that bout he knocked out Darrell Montague at UFC 166 in October of last year.
Moraga (14-2) like Dodson, has already challenged for the flyweight belt as well and came up short to Johnson at UFC on FOX 8. He has since beat Dustin Ortiz by split decision. Moraga is 3-1 inside the Octagon.
UFC Fight Night 43 goes down on June 7 from the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque and will feature Benson Henderson and Rustam Khabilov as the evenings main event.
