A middleweight bout has completed the UFC 175 fight card on July 5th as RFA champion and TUF alum Kevin Casey will meet Legacy champion Bubba Bush.
The fight booking was reported earlier this week by MMAFighting.com and the UFC made the fight booking official last night.
UFC 175 will come from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on July 5th and will be headlined by a title fight as Chris Weidman defends the UFC middleweight title against former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida.
Casey (8-3) has won three fights in a row since being released by the UFC following his defeat at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale. His most recent win came two weeks ago as he defeated Andrew Sanchez by knockout to win the inaugural RFA middleweight title.
Bush (8-2) has completed in Legacy Fighting Championships for nearly his entire career and was the middleweight champion. He is currently on a four fight winning streak and he successfully defended the title last week as he submitted Alfonso Gonzales in the first round.
