Bantamweight finishers Randy Costa and Journey Newson will meet in the octagon this fall.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed the matchup will take place at the UFC’s event on Sept. 26 following an initial report from MMA Junkie. The card location hasn’t been officially announced, but is expected to take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Costa is looking to build upon the momentum of his first promotional victory this past October. In front of a hometown crowd at UFC Boston, “The Zohan” finished Boston Salmon via TKO in the first round.
