A flyweight match-up between Jussier Formiga and Dustin Ortiz has been added to UFC Fight Night 95, which takes place in Brazil.
Formiga confirmed the bout to MMAJunkie following an initial report from Brazilian outlet Combate.
Formiga (18-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) was awarded with a No.1 contenders fight in his UFC debut, but was stopped by John Dodson. He rebounded from the loss with a victory over Chris Cariaso before losing to Joseph Benavidez at UFC Fight Night 28. Formiga then put his first UFC win streak together, with a submission victory over Scott Jorgensen, and decision victories over Zach Makovsky and Wilson Reis. The Brazilian’s three fight streak was snapped last November when he ended up on the wrong end of a split decision to Henry Cejudo.
Ortiz (15-5 MMA, 4-3 UFC) debuted in the UFC with a TKO victory over Jose Maria Tome before losing a close decision to John Moraga. Ortiz rebounded from the loss with split decision victories over Ray Borg and Justin Scoggins before losing a decision to Joseph Benavidez. Ortiz then fought, and stopped Willie Gates at UFC Fight Night 73. In his most recent outing, Ortiz lost a decision to Wilson Reis.
UFC Fight Night 95 takes place live from the Ginasio Nilson Nelson in Brasilia, Brazil. It was earlier reported that the card would be headlined by a catchweight bout between Cris ‘Cyborg’ and Lina Lansberg.
