The event takes place Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Oralbai first announced the matchup on social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 28-year-old Orolbai is 5-1 in the UFC since making his debut in November 2023, mixing things up in matchups between lightweight and welterweight. Now finding a home in the welterweight division, Orolbai enters the bout on a three-fight win streak, including stoppage victories over Tofiq Musayev and Jack Hermansson, along with a lopsided decision win against Chris Curtis in his most recent outing in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Wells is set to kick off his sixth year with the promotion as he looks to build on a decision win against Themba Gorimbo this past November. Prior to that, the Philadelphia native had dropped two straight against Carlston Harris and Max Griffin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">UFC 330 is headlined by a welterweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC 330 has added another 170-pound matchup to the slate.
