A lightweight fight between James Vick and Marco Polo Reyes has been added to UFC 211, which takes place in Dallas.
The promotion announced the news earlier today.
Vick (10-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is looking to make it two in a row and build a win streak up after his most recent victory over Abel Trujillo. Prior to that win, the Texan had a five fight win streak snapped when he was viciously stopped by Beneil Dariush at UFC 199. During that five fight win streak, Vick defeated Ramsey Nijem, Valmir Lazaro, Nick Hein, Jake Matthews, and Glaico Franca.
Reyes (7-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) was a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter Latin America Season 2, but was eliminated by Horacio Gutierrez. Since making his UFC debut, the Mexican has gone 3-0, and has managed to pick up two finishes. His official debut ended in a first round TKO win over Cezar Arzamendia before Reyes stopped Dong Hyun Kim in a FOTY contender at UFC 199. In his most recent outing, he defeated Jason Novelli via decision.
UFC 211 takes place live from the American Airlines Center on Saturday, May 13. The card is set to be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between current champion Stipe Miocic and former champion Junior dos Santos.
