A lightweight bout has been verbally agreed for UFC 172 on April 26th in Baltimore as Isaac Vallie-Flagg will meet Danny Castillo.
The fight booking was announced by the UFC on Thursday.
UFC 172 will take place from the Baltimore Arena on April 26th and will be headlined by Jon Jones defending the UFC light heavyweight title against Glover Teixeira.
Vallie-Flagg (14-4-1) made his debut with the UFC in early 2013 and defeated Yves Edwards by split decision. The victory over Edwards was his fifth straight victory and his winning streak was snapped at UFC Fight Night 35 last month as he was defeated by Elias Silverio.
Castillo (18-6) will also enter this bout after a defeat as he lost a majority decision to Edson Barboza at UFC on FOX 9. He nearly finished the fight in the first round, but Barboza was able to weather the storm to get the victory. The defeat snapped a two fight winning streak and he is 5-2 in his last seven fights.
