Dustin Jacoby plans to ‘strike first’ vs. Justin Ledet in octagon return nearly 9 years in the making

Dustin Jacoby will do something this weekend he hasn’t done in nearly nine years: walk to the hallowed UFC octagon.

Jacoby will face Justin Ledet in a light heavyweight matchup at this Saturday at UFC Vegas 12. The event takes place at the UFC APEX and will be headlined by a middlweight matchup between Uriah Hall and Anderson Silva—in what could potentially be Silva’s final fight.

The 32-year-old will be looking for his first career octagon victory after going 0-2 in his first run with the promotion. The last time Jacoby competed in the UFC was at January 2012’s UFC on FOX 2 event where he was submitted by Chris Camozzi in the third round.
