A new lightweight match-up has been confirmed for UFC Fight Island 4 as Jessin Ayari will face Luigi Vendramini.
Ayari is looking to rebound following his consecutive losses to Darren Till (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 109) and Stevie Ray (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 138). The lightweight came in hot with a strong six-fight winning streak and actually got an impressive split decision win over Jim Wallhead at UFC Fight Night 93 before his string of losses. Ayari enters the contest with a professional record of 16 wins and 5 losses.
Vendramini remains winless in the UFC thus far as the lightweight failed to beat Elizeu Zaleski Dos Santos at UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo. Like Ayari, Vendramini came into the promotion with some serious momentum as he was in the midst of a eight-fight winning streak before suffering his first professional loss to Santos. Overall, Vendramini’s record currently stands at 8 wins and 1 loss.
