Jake
Matthews will lock horns with Sean Brady
in a welterweight bout at UFC
259.
MMAFighting.com was first to report the pairing. UFC 259 takes
place on March 6 and does not yet have an official location or
headliner. The card is also expected to include a light heavyweight
tilt pitting Aleksandar
Rakic against Thiago
Santos, a bantamweight scrap between Dominick
Cruz and Casey
Kenney, and a flyweight showdown between Joseph
Benavidez and Askar
Askarov.
Matthews, 26, has been victorious in six of his last seven Octagon
appearances. Most recently, “The Celtic Kid” outpointed Diego
Sanchez at UFC 253 on Sept. 26. Matthews is 10-4 since
beginning his promotional tenure in 2014 and 17-4 as a professional
overall.
Brady has won his first three UFC bouts to improve his professional
mark to 13-0. In his last outing, the Renzo Gracie
Philly representative submitted Christian
Aguilera with a guillotine choke in the second round of their
UFC Fight Night 175 encounter.
