A new bantamweight bout is expected to take place on October 10 as Ali Alqaisi vs. Tony Kelley is confirmed for UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen.
Alqaisi failed to get a victory over Irwin Rivera in his UFC debut last month. That loss snapped a solid five-fight winning streak that saw the bantamweight beat top names in Brave Combat Federation and Phoenix Fighting Championship. Alqaisi enters with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses.
