UFC Fight Night on June 26 Gets Raoni Barcelos-Timur Valiev Bantamweight Showdown

Raoni Barcelos will clash with Timur Valiev in a bantamweight matchup at UFC Fight Night on June 26.

ESPN was first to report the pairing. UFC Fight Night takes place at an as yet to be announced location and is headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Alexander Volkov and Ciryl Gane.

Barcelos was supposed to compete at UFC Fight Night 186 on Feb. 26 but was forced to withdraw from the event after testing positive for COVID-19. The former Resurrection Fighting Alliance title holder is currently on a nine-bout professional winning streak that includes five triumphs in UFC competition.
