The full lineup for UFC Vegas 118 has been revealed.
On June 6, the UFC will return to the META APEX with a Fight Night event serving as the prelude to UFC White House the following week. The main event features a previously announced matchup between former welterweight champion Belal Muhammad and rising contender Gabriel Bonfim. Muhammad is currently on a two-fight losing streak, most recently dropping a decision to Ian Machado Garry in November. Bonfim, meanwhile, has won four in a row, stopping
Randy Brown at UFC Vegas 111 in the same month.
On Tuesday, the UFC released the rest of the card for UFC Vegas 118, including a previously announced middleweight matchup between Brendan Allen and Edmen Shahbazyan, which will serve as the co-main event of the evening.
In the featured bout of the evening, one of the most controversial figures in the sport, Bryce Mitchell, continues his bantamweight run, taking on Victor Henry in a 135-pound bout. Also on the card, No. 15-ranked lightweight, Fares Ziam, puts his ranking on the line against Contender Series product Tom Nolan.
Also defending a ranking on the card, No. 15-ranked flyweight Bruno Silva, faces off with rising contender Edgar Chairez.
