Leo Kuntz was recently signed by the UFC and he will make his promotional debut next month in Atlantic City as he will meet Yosdenis Cedeno on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 45.
The fight booking was announced by UFC officials on Wednesday.
UFC Fight Night 45 will come from the Ovation Hall inside the Revel Casino on July 16th and will be headlined by Donald Cerrone meeting Jim Miller in a five round lightweight bout.
Kuntz (17-1-1) is unbeaten in his last fifteen fights and had a short stint on The Ultimate Fighter 16. He was eliminated in the fights to get into the house and he is coming off a submission win in December against Ted Worthington.
Cedeno (9-3) lost his UFC debut in February against Ernest Chavez and the defeat snapped a six fight winning streak. Six of his nine professional victories have come by TKO/KO and two of his three defeats are by decision.
