A lightweight bout has been set for UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov as Austin Hubbard will take on Joe Solecki.
Hubbard is hoping to get back on track after failing to beat Mark Madsen at UFC 248. Since making his debut in 2019, the lightweight has only managed to win one out of his three UFC fights thus far, scoring a unanimous decision victory over Kyle Prepolec at UFC Fight Night 158. Hubbard came into the promotion hot by being in the midst of a three-fight winning streak competing under Legacy Fighting Alliance. The lightweight’s professional record currently stands at 11 wins and 4 losses.
Solecki made a strong statement on Dana White’s Contender Series with a win over James Wallace and got another impressive victory over Matt Wiman by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night Washington DC. Prior to his UFC debut in 2019, the lightweight made his name down in Cage Fury Fighting Championships and Ring of Combat. Solecki’s professional record currently stands at 9 wins and 2 losses.
UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Volkov takes place on Saturday, June 20 with a location set to be announced soon and the two heavyweights headlining.
