Gallery Curtis Millender def. Max Griffin at UFC 226: Best photos view 14 images

The UFC’s year-end event continues to build with the addition of a new welterweight fight.

Curtis Millender (16-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will take on Siyar Bahadurzada (24-6-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at UFC 232. A Millender team official today told MMAjunkie of the booking, though UFC officials have not yet made a formal announcement of the fight.

UFC 232, which takes place Dec. 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Millender has won eight straight fights, including his first two bouts in the UFC earlier this year. His current winning streak is on the heels of a rough stretch that saw him drop three of four fights, including back-to-back submission losses to Brennan Ward and Fernando Gonzalez for Bellator.

After a knockout of Johnny Cisneros at Bellator 170 in January 2017, he won three straight under the LFA banner, including back-to-back head-kick knockouts, before signing with the UFC. In his promotional debut, he knocked out Thiago Alves for a $50,000 bonus in Texas. And at UFC 226 in July, he outworked Max Griffin for a unanimous decision.

Bahadurzada has won three straight fights, all by stoppage. After back-to-back decision losses to Dong Hyun Kimand John Howard, he submitted Brandon Thatch at UFC 196 in March 2016, knocked out Rob Wilkinson in a middleweight fight in September 2017, and knocked out Luan Chagas for a bonus in April this year. The fight with Millender will be the first time Bahadurzada has two fights in a calendar year since 2013.

Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson – for light heavyweight title
