Dominique Steele meets New Zealand newcomer Luke Jumeau at UFC Fight Night 110 in Auckland

The lineup for the UFC’s return to New Zealand in June continues to grow with the addition of another welterweight bout.

New Zealand-born Luke Jumeau (12-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is set to make his UFC debut when he takes on Dominique Steele (14-8 MMA, 1-3 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 110 in June. The bout was reported by New Zealand’s 1NewsNow.com, but has not been formally announced by UFC officials.

UFC Fight Night 110 takes place June 10 at Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. The event airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

The 29-year-old “Jedi” Jumeau comes to the UFC on the strength of a six-fight winning streak on the heels of a two-fight skid in 2013 that happened to come against a pair of UFC fighters in Li Jingliang and Jake Matthews.

But since then, his six straight all are by stoppage with a pair of submissions and four knockouts. Most recently, he knocked out Australian UFC veteran Vik Grujic in the second round in January.

Steele is in need of a win after dropping the first three of his four UFC fights – though he does have two fight-night bonuses in those apppearances. He debuted with the promotion at UFC on FOX 16 in July 2015, but was stopped by Zak Cummings with a 43-second TKO. But his rebound was a big one. He picked up a performance bonus for a third-round slam knockout of “Maestro” Dong Hyun Kim in Kim’s native South Korea in November 2015.

When Steele returned at UFC 197, he lost a unanimous decision to Danny Roberts, though he was given a $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus for the scrap. Most recently, this past August he dropped a decision to Court McGee at UFC Fight Night 92 in Utah.

With the addition, the latest UFC Fight Night 110 card now includes:

• Mark Hunt vs. Derrick Lewis
