A featherweight fight between Andre Fili and top prospect Sodiq Yusuff is currently in the works for the upcoming card on Jan. 18 that is expected to be UFC 246.
The show number isn’t finalized just yet because the UFC hasn’t made an official announcement regarding the event but the card will likely serve as the first pay-per-view of 2020 with the return of Conor McGregor tentatively scheduled for that date.
Multiple sources confirmed that verbal agreements are in place for the contest when speaking to MMA Fighting on Sunday following an initial report from MMAJunkie.
