A heavyweight division attraction has been added to a yet to be announced UFC card on October 3 as Yorgan De Castro faces Ben Sosoli.
Raphael Marinho of Combate first reported the bout, who’s spot on the card isn’t known at this time.
De Castro (6-1-0) is coming off of his first professional MMA defeat, which came to Greg Hardy at UFC 249. De Castro has picked up a single win in UFC competition and that came against Justin Tafa via first round knockout at UFC 243. De Castro has picked up six wins as a professional MMA fighter and five of them came by way of KO/TKO.
