The full lineup for UFC Vegas 118 has been revealed.<\/p>\n
On June 6, the UFC will return to the META APEX with a Fight Night event serving as the prelude to UFC White House the following week. The main event features a previously announced matchup between former welterweight champion Belal Muhammad and rising contender Gabriel Bonfim. Muhammad is currently on a two-fight losing streak, most recently dropping a decision to Ian Machado Garry in November. Bonfim, meanwhile, has won four in a row, stopping Randy Brown at UFC Vegas 111 in the same month.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the UFC released the rest of the card for UFC Vegas 118, including a previously announced middleweight matchup between Brendan Allen and Edmen Shahbazyan, which will serve as the co-main event of the evening.<\/p>\n
In the featured bout of the evening, one of the most controversial figures in the sport, Bryce Mitchell, continues his bantamweight run, taking on Victor Henry in a 135-pound bout. Also on the card, No. 15-ranked lightweight, Fares Ziam, puts his ranking on the line against Contender Series product Tom Nolan.<\/p>\n
Also defending a ranking on the card, No. 15-ranked flyweight Bruno Silva, faces off with rising contender Edgar Chairez.<\/p>\n
