Frankie Saenz and Jonathan Martinez will join the lineup for the UFC’s return to Las Vegas.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that the bantamweight matchup will take place Aug. 1 following an initial report from MMA Junkie. The event will take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Saenz will make his first walk to the octagon since March 2019 where he suffered a first-round TKO loss to Marlon Vera. The Fight Ready product entered that fight on back-to-back decision wins over Henry Briones and Merab Dvalishvili.
