Naoyuki Kotani has re-signed with the UFC and return to the organization on July 19th at UFC Fight Night Dublin as he will meet Norman Parke.
The fight booking was announced by UFC officials on Wednesday.
UFC Fight Night Dublin will come from the O2 Arena on July 19th and will be headlined by a featherweight bout as Conor McGregor meets Cole Miller.
Kotani (33-10-7) was recently re-signed by the UFC and is currently on a thirteen fight winning streak. During his recent winning streak, eleven of the victories have come by TKO/KO or submission and his last defeat came in 2010 against current UFC lightweight Jorge Masvidal.
Parke (19-2-1) won The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes in late 2012 and has gone unbeaten in his four fights in the UFC. After securing victories in his first three fights in the UFC, he faced Leonardo Santos at UFC Fight Night 38 in March and the fight was declared a draw after Parke was deducted a point for grabbing the shorts of Santos.
