A welterweight tilt has been added to the upcoming San Diego show, UFC Fight Night 70 (formerly UFC Fight Night 72), as Alan Jouban is set to face Matt Dwyer.
UFC officials announced the matchup on Wednesday.
Jouban (11-3) made his promotional debut last August and picked up a stoppage over Seth Baczynski in a ‘Fight of the Night’ affair. In his next Octagon appearance, however, he dropped a very close decision to Warlley Alves. He rebounded with a stunning knockout win over Richard Walsh this past February at UFC 184.
Dwyer (8-2) is a Canadian prospect who has never gone the distance in his professional career, only twice as an amateur.
