A battle of past Contender Series contract winners is slated for the octagon in November.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a featherweight matchup between Sean Woodson and Jonathan Pearce will take place at a UFC event on Nov. 28. The card is scheduled to take place at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Woodson, 28, looks to bounce back from the first loss of his pro career in June. “The Sniper,” originally scheduled to face Kyle Nelson at UFC on ESPN 12, instead took on the returning Julian Erosa on less than one week’s notice and was submitted in the third round.
