Blachowicz vs. Cummins, Aldana vs. Chookagian among new UFC 210 bookings

April’s UFC 210 event in New York has three new additions.

Officials today announced the trio of bouts: light heavyweights Jan Blachowicz (19-6 MMA, 2-3 UFC) vs. Patrick Cummins (8-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC), featherweights Shane Burgos (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Charles Rosa (11-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC), and women’s bantamweights Irene Aldana (7-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vs. Katlyn Chookagian (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC).

UFC 210 takes place April 8 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the fight card and bout order haven’t been finalized.

Blachowicz, an honorable mention in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings, is stuck in a 1-3 skid, which included a decision loss to Alexander Gustafsson in his most recent bout. The 33-year-old Polish fighter and former KSW champ looks to rebound against Cummins, a 36-year-old who was on a solid 4-1 run before recent TKO losses to Glover Texeira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

Burgos, an ROC and CFFC vet, recently made his UFC debut and scored a decision victory over Tiago Trator (while getting a mid-fight haircut). The 25-year-old won his seven prior fights via stoppage. He now meets Rosa, a CES MMA vet and two-fight “Fight of the Night” winner who has UFC wins over Sean Soriano and Kyle Bochniak, and losses to Dennis Siver and Yair Rodriguez.

Aldana, a 28-year-old Mexican striker, is a former Invicta FC title challenger who recently made her UFC debut and suffered an upset decision loss to Leslie Smith, though she earned “Fight of the Night” honors in the losing effort. She now meets Chookagian, who’s an honorable mention in the rankings. The 28-year-old picked up a decision victory over Lauren Murphy in her UFC debut but recently suffered a decision loss to former UFC title challenger Liz Carmouche.

The latest UFC 210 card now includes:

• Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson
• Gegard Mousasi vs. Chris Weidman
• Jan Blachowicz vs. Patrick Cummins
• Shane Burgos vs. Charles Rosa
• Irene Aldana vs. Katlyn Chookagian
