After their fight fell apart at the last minute the first time around, Brian Kelleher and Montel Jackson will give it a second attempt in December at UFC 232.

The UFC recently announced the matchup between Kelleher (19-9 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and Jackson (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) has been rescheduled.

UFC 232 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.

Kelleher and Jackson were supposed to fight at UFC 230 this month in New York, but just hours before they were set to hit the octagon, Kelleher withdrew from the event. “Boom” cited illness potentially related to food poisoning, and not the fact he missed weight for the contest, as the reason he was unable to compete.

After the scratch, Jackson told MMAjunkie he was hoping to get another booking soon, whether it was against Kelleher or not. UFC matchmakers opted to put the fight back together, and both sides will surely hope to make it with no hiccups.

The latest UFC 232 card now includes:

Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson – for light heavyweight title

Champ Cris Cyborg vs. Amanda Nunes – for women’s featherweight title

Michael Chiesa vs. Carlos Condit

Corey Anderson vs. Ilir Latifi
