A welterweight bout that was initially scheduled to take place at UFC on FOX 12 last year has been rebooked for UFC Fight Night 70 in Florida as Viscardi Andrade will meet Andreas Stahl on the preliminary card.
The fight booking was initially reported by MMA Fighting and has now been confirmed by the UFC.
UFC Fight Night 70 will come from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida on June 27 and will be headlined by a middleweight bout as former UFC champion Lyoto Machida meets Yoel Romero.
