Brandon Davis says he's fighting Enrique Barzola in UFC Chile's 14th bout

Next month’s UFC Fight Night 129 lineup appears to have its 14th matchup.

Brandon Davis (9-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) has signed a bout agreement to fight fellow featherweight Enrique Barzola (14-3-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), he announced (via Twitter):

UFC Fight Night 129 takes place May 19 at Movistar Arena in Santiago, and it marks the UFC’s debut in Chile. It airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass, though the official bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Davis defeated Austin Arnett at a 2017 Dana White’s Contender Series event and then earned a UFC contract. The 27-year-old, who works with Alan Belcher and Roufusport, suffered unanimous-decision loss to Kyle Bochniak in his promotional debut but rebounded in February with a unanimous-decision victory over Steven Peterson and earned a “Fight of the Night” bonus. It was his eighth victory in nine fights.

Barzola, who won “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2” in 2015, has excelled since joining the UFC roster. The 28-year-old Peruvian defeated Horacio Gutierrez in his official UFC debut (to win “TUF”) but then dropped a split decision to Bochniak, though every media outlet on MMADecisions.com scored it for Barzola. He’s since rebounded with three straight decision victories, which included a January win over Matt Bessette.
