A lightweight bout has been added to the UFC’s upcoming return to England on Nov 14 as “Ultimate Fighter” season 9 runner-up, Andre Winner, returns to action for the first time since the show’s finale to take on “Ultimate Fighter” season 8 fighter, Roli Delgado.
The news was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com on Thursday by sources close to the fight.
Winner steps back into the Octagon after dropping a unanimous decision to fellow British fighter, Ross Pearson, in the lightweight finals for the show.
Spending the majority of career fighting in England, Winner will no doubt be the crowd favorite heading into the bout, but that also puts the pressure on the TUF 9 veteran to impress the hometown fans.
His opponent, Roli Delgado, makes his first appearance in the Octagon since early June when he lost a decision to another British fighter in Paul Kelly during the UFC’s first show in Germany.
