Tristan Connelly will return for the first time in more than a year and a half when he meets Pat Sabatini at UFC 261.
MMAjunkie.com was first to report the featherweight booking. UFC 261 takes place on April 24 at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., and is headlined by a welterweight championship rematch between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal.
Connelly pulled off a significant upset in his Octagon debut, when he outpointed Michel Pereira in a welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night 158 in September 2019.
