UFC News: New fight to be booked for the promotion's January 18 event

Yet another fight is being added to the card of UFC's planned event that will take place on January 18. Andre Fili and Sodiq Yusuff have been booked for a Featherweight bout according to a report by MMA Junkie, where a person close to the situation is cited as the source of the information.

No official confirmation has been released from UFC yet about the matter.

What else to expect on Jan. 18

The January 18 event is going to be UFC 246, but the promotion is yet to announce the venue of the event as well. Rumors say that it could take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

UFC 246 is expected to be huge, as Conor McGregor had announced a while back that he will be making his much-awaited return to the Octagon in that event. No opponent for 'The Notorious' has been declared either, but there are high chances it could be Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone.

Other confirmed fights for the event are:

Maycee Barber vs. Roxanne Modafferi
Drew Dober vs. Nasrat Haqparast
Grant Dawson vs. Chas Skelly
Maurice Greene vs. Aleksei Oleinik
Claudia Gadelha vs. Alexa Grasso

The Fili vs. Yusuff fight will certainly add much weight to the night's card, not to mention the attention it will draw when the McGregor bout is finally made official.
