Ricardo Lucas Ramos vs. Michinori Tanaka added to UFC Fight Night 104 in Houston

A bantamweight matchup between a Brazilian UFC newcomer and an exciting Japanese prospect has been added to the UFC’s Super Bowl event.

UFC officials today announced that Ricardo Lucas Ramos faces Michinori Tanaka at UFC Fight Night 104, which takes place Feb. 4 at Toyota Center in Houston.

Featuring a featherweight matchup of Dennis Bermudez vs. Chan Sung Jung, UFC Fight Night 104 airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass, though the evening’s official bout order has yet to be revealed.

Tanaka looks to rebound from a decision loss to Rani Yahya in Brazil at September’s UFC Fight Night 95 event. The 26-year-old Japanese fighter has alternated results in his UFC career thus far, earning wins over Joe Soto and Roland Delorme around loss to Yahya and Kyung Ho Kang.

Ramos makes his debut following an August victory over Alfred Khashakyan that was featured on the latest edition of “Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.” That result marked a rebound from Ramos’ first professional loss, a failed February 2016 bid for Legacy FC’s then-vacant bantamweight title.

The latest UFC Fight Night 104 lineup includes:

• Dennis Bermudez vs. Chan Sung Jung
• Alexa Grasso vs. Felice Herrig
• Jan Blachowicz vs. Ovince Saint Preux
