A light heavyweight division attraction has been added to UFC Fight Night Minneapolis according to MMA Junkie as Justin Ledet is going to be in action against Dalcha Lungiambula.
Ledet (9-2-0-1NC) enters the contest while in the midst of a two fight losing streak, dropping bouts to the duo of Aleksandar Rakic and Johnny Walker. Ledet hasn’t picked up a victory since September of 2017, when he defeated Azunna Anyanwu by split decision at UFC Fight Night Pittsburgh.

Lungiambula is competing outside of the EFC Worldwide auspices for the first time in his professional MMA career, which began in June of 2014.
