A featherweight division attraction has been added to UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Aldana as Josh Culibao faces Charles Jourdain.
MMA Junkie first reported the bout.
Culibao (8-1-0) is winless thus far under the UFC banner, having dropped a bout to Jalin Turner at UFC Fight Night Auckland. Culibao is a former Hex Fight Series and Diamondback Fighting Championship featherweight champion, but he relinquished both titles upon signing with the UFC. Culibao has competed nine times as a professional MMA fighter and just three of those bouts went the distance.
Jourdain (10-3-0) has won just one of three in the UFC with that lone win coming over Doo Ho Choi at UFC Fight Night Busan. Jourdain is a former TKO MMA lightweight and featherweight champion, but he gave up the lightweight strap upon signing with the UFC. Jourdain has suffered three losses as a professional MMA fighter and all of them came by way of decision.
UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Aldana is set for Saturday, October 3 from a location to be announced with Holly Holm and Irene Aldana headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, while broadcast plans have yet to be revealed.
