An all-Britain bantamweight bout has been added to next month’s UFC Fight Night 107 lineup.
England’s Ian Entwistle (9-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) and undefeated Welsh fighter Brett Johns (13-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) are slated for the show.
UFC Fight Night 107 takes place March 18 at The O2 in London. The entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.
Entwistle, 30, has seven submissions in nine career wins. Although he’s suffered UFC losses to Dan Hooker and Alejandro Perez, they’re sandwiched around a submission victory over Anthony Birchak that earned “Performance of the Night” honors. During a Cage Warriors stint from 2011-2013, Entwistle went 4-0 with four first-round stoppage.
He now meets 24-year-old Johns, who turned pro in 2012 and has six stoppages in 13 career wins. The former Cage Warriors and Titan FC champion made his UFC debut back in November, and he scored a unanimous-decision win over Kwan Ho Kwak.
