A welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Bryan Barberena has been added to UFC Fight Night 115, which takes place in Rotterdam.

The promotion announced the fight earlier this week.

Edwards (13-3) competed on the UK scene prior to his UFC run, winning and defending the BAMMA Welterweight Championship. He lost his UFC debut by split decision before winning two straight. His next fight was a loss against Kamaru Usman, but since then, the Jamaican born fighter has won three straight.

Barberena (13-4) made a name for himself when he submitted Sage Northcutt at UFC Newark. He then defeated Warlley Alves by Decision. “Bam Bam” faced Colby Covington at UFC Sacramento next, but lost the bout via decision. He rebounded last time out with a first round stoppage over Joe Proctor.

UFC Fight Night 115 takes place live from the Ahoy Rotterdam Arena in Rotterdam, Netherlands on September 2, 2017. The card is set to be headlined by a heavyweight fight between Stefan Struve and Alexander Volkov.
