Five new bouts have officially been added to the UFC’s first-ever trip to Raleigh, NC.
In a flyweight bout, Justine Kish (6-2), a veteran from season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter, looks to snap a two-fight skid against Lucie Pudilova (8-5), who’s also looking to right the ship after dropping three straight inside the Octagon.
In a middleweight tilt, Bevon Lewis (6-2), a Jackson-Winkeljohn product, also looks to get back into the win column against Alen Amedovski (8-2), a Bellator and Cage Warriors veteran who’s yet to taste victory in the UFC.
On the flip side, the undefeated Jamahal Hill (5-0) and Montel Jackson (8-1) hope to continue their winning ways against Serbian native Darko Stosic (13-3) and Brazilian submission specialist Felipe Colares (8-1).
Rounding out the fight additions, Herbert Burns (9-2), younger brother of welterweight Gilbert Burns, looks to make it four straight wins as he squares off against promotional newcomer Nate Landwehr (12-2) in a featherweight scrap.
The entire card goes down inside the PNC Arena on January 25. With these latest additions, here is how the entire card stands:
- Junior dos Santos vs. Curtis Blaydes
- Frankie Edgar vs. Cory Sandhagen
- Herbert Burns vs. Nate Landwehr
- Justine Kish vs. Lucie Pudilova
