The UFC will be returning to the Atlanta area for UFC Fight Night 35 as the event will come from the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Georgia.
UFC officials announced the event on Thursday evening and announced two fights for the card with Cole Miller meeting Sam Sicilia in a featherweight bout, and TJ Dillashaw will meet Mike Easton in a bantamweight bout.
Miller (20-8) is from Augusta, Georgia and this will be his first fight in his home state since 2006. He has won two of his last three fights, including a decision win against Andy Ogle at UFC Fight Night 30 last month. Sicilia (12-3) snapped a two fight losing streak last week at UFC Fight Night 32 when he defeated Godofredo Pepey by TKO. It was his second win in the UFC and both of his wins have come by TKO/KO.
Dillashaw (8-2) has won four of his six fights in the UFC and is coming off a split decision defeat to Raphael Assuncao at UFC Fight Night 29. He won the Fight of the Night bonus with Assuncao and it was the fight time he won a fight night bonus. Easton (13-3) has dropped back to back fights after opening his UFC career with three straight wins. Just like Dillashaw, he lost his last fight by split decision and won the Fight of the Night bonus in defeat.
UFC Fight Night 35 will air on Fox Sports 1 in the United States and tickets for this event will go on sale to the public on December 6th. More details on this event will be announced in the coming weeks, including what fight will headline the card.
