UFC’s Jan. 20 Card Gets Ramazan Emeev-David Zawada Welterweight Tilt

Ramazan Emeev and David Zawada will lock horns in a welterweight matchup at the UFC’s Jan. 20 card.

The promotion announced the pairing on Tuesday. The UFC event is expected to take place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi and is headlined by a welterweight showdown between Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar.

Emeev has been victorious in four of his five Octagon appearances. Most recently, the 33-year-old American Top Team representative outpointed Niklas Stolze at UFC on ESPN 14 on July 25. The former M-1 Challenge champion has only lost to Anthony Rocco Martin in UFC competition thus far.
