Among the first additions is a light heavyweight scrap between Navajo Stirling and Rodolfo Bellato, two fighters known for bringing the violence. Stirling (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) looks to pick up his first promotional finish after two unanimous decision victories. Bellato (12-2-1 MMA, 1-0-1 UFC) aims to shake the memory of a bizarre no contest vs. Paul Craig in June.<\/p>\n

Also on the card, strike-heavy strawweights Loma Lookboonmee and Alexia Thainara will collide. Lookboonmee (10-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) enters the fight on a four-fight streak. Thainara (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) turned heads in her promotional debut with a dominant first-round submission of Molly McCann.<\/p>\n

Other additions to the card include Dooho Choi (16-4-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) vs. Daniel Santos (12-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in a featherweight bout that was first reported by Ag. Fight<\/a>, and Colby Thicknesse (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vs. Josias Musasa (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in a bantamweight bout.<\/p>\n
