As the UFC gets set to make its return to Los Angeles for the first time in eight years, a few fighters for the card have been revealed.
Though the main event of UFC 331 is still to be announced, on Wednesday, the UFC announced four confirmed bouts set to take place at Crypto.com Arena on Sept. 19.
Brazil’s Renato Moicano (21-7-1) is set to square off against American Brian Ortega (16-5) in a rematch of their 2017 fight — a Fight of the Night showcase at UFC 214 that saw Ortega win via submission.
The two were set to square off at UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 back in March, but the bout was cancelled as Ortega dealt with nagging injuries.
Also on the docket is a showdown between heavyweights Gable Steveson (4-0) and Sean Sharaf (4-2), which will see the former try to build on a successful UFC debut in July, when he beat Elisha Ellison via TKO at UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2.
Additionally, heavyweight Tai Tuivasa (14-10) will take on Robelis Despaigne (6-2), and Ryan Gandra (10-1) will try to remain undefeated since joining the UFC as he squares off against Ozzy Diaz (10-4) in a middleweight bout.
Here’s a look at the full scheduled fight list for UFC 331:
— Marlon Vera vs. Charles Jourdain
