If Jimmie Rivera wants to get back in the win column, he’ll have to hold off the hard-charging Petr Yan.
Officials announced a bantamweight meeting between the two top contenders for UFC 238 on June 8 at United Center in Chicago. The bout was first reported by ESPN.
Rivera (22-3) joined the UFC back in July 2015 riding a 15-fight win streak and he stretched that to 20 with victories in his first five Octagon appearances, which included decision nods over Thomas Almeida, Urijah Faber, and Iuri Alcantara.
