Originally scheduled to fight at UFC 219, the two light heavyweights have been re-booked for UFC 226 on July 7th in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC officials announced the matchup last Friday. The night’s main card airs live on PPV, with prelims split between FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Saki (1-1) made his UFC debut last September, winning by vicious KO vs. Luis Henrique da Silva. He is best known as a highly accomplished kickboxer, having won the Glory LHW belt in 2014 via injury TKO vs. Tyrone Spong, but inactivity led to him being stripped of the title.
