A bantamweight division attraction has been added to UFC 241 according to MMA Junkie as Manny Bermudez is going to be in action against Casey Kenney.
Bermudez (14-0-0) has already picked up three wins in the UFC, defeating the three pack of Albert Morales, Davey Grant and Benito Lopez. Bermudez has competed fourteen times as a professional MMA fighter and just two of those bouts went the distance. Bermudez is also going to be making his UFC pay-per-view card debut in this bout, despite having been with the promotion for over a year.
Kenney (12-1-1) is also undefeated thus far under the UFC banner, defeating Ray Borg by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night Philadelphia. Kenney is also a former Legacy Fighting Alliance Flyweight Champion, defeating Brandon Royval by unanimous decision at LFA 53 to win the gold.
