Two rising Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweights with an eye on the top five will throw down in December.
The news broke on Thursday from MMA Junkie that Matt Schnell (16-6, 1 NC) will come to blows with Matheus Nicolau (18-2-1) at the UFC Fight Night event on Dec. 3. This fight card does not currently have a destination on the books, nor a designation. Schnell confirmed the existence of his upcoming bout on his Instagram on Thursday morning. Other than Schnell-Nicolau, the only match booked on the lineup is a flyweight contest between Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez.
