TSN confirmed the fight, which was reported by Sean Ross Sapp on the Holy Smokes MMA Podcast in August.
Theodorou (13-2-0) has won two of his last three under the UFC banner, with those two wins coming over the duo of Sam Alvey and Cezar Ferreira. Theodorou was the middleweight winning of the UFC Ultimate Fighter Nations, defeating Sheldon Westcott in the finals. Theodorou has seen his last four fights in the UFC go the distance and it has been over two years since he got a finish inside of the Octagon.
