Andy Ogle vs. Maximo Blanco set for UFC Fight Night 41 in Berlin

The UFC’s debut in Berlin next month has a new featherweight bout on the bill.

Andy Ogle (9-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC) is set to meet Maximo Blanco (9-6-1 MMA, 1-3 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 41, and both fighters will be looking to snap two-fight skids. UFC officials announced the new matchup on Thursday morning.

UFC Fight Night 41 takes place May 31 at the O2 World Berlin in Germany. The card, which streams in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass in the U.S., marks the company’s first event in Germany since November 2010.

Ogle, who got his UFC start on Season 15 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” has lost back-to-back fights to Cole Miller and Charles Oliveira. In October, he put up a valiant effort against Miller not far from his home, but dropped a decision in Manchester, England. In Brazil in February, he was submitted by Oliveira midway through the third round.

Blanco moved over to the UFC after a loss to Pat Healy for Strikeforce. He dropped his featherweight debut, which also was his UFC debut, with a split-decision setback against Marcus Brimage at UFC 145. He rebounded to beat Sam Sicilia at the TUF 17 Finale, but since then has back-to-back losses to Akira Corassani thanks to a first-round disqualification for an illegal knee and Felipe Arantes, by decision, in February.
