Albert Duraev will take part in the UFC on ESPN 49 tournament

Russian middleweight Albert Duraev will return to the octagon on July 15 at UFC on ESPN 49 in Las Vegas against South Korean Yun Yong Pak.

Albert Duraev got his career back on track in March with a split decision victory over Chidi Njokuani. In June last year, the Russian suffered his first defeat in the UFC, losing by technical knockout to Joaquin Buckley due to a doctor stopping the fight at the end of the second round.

Yun Yong Pak is on a three win streak, finishing in the first round by rear naked choke of Russian Denis Tyulyulin in his last bout.

Informed sources also reported that as part of the UFC on ESPN 49 tournament, the undefeated Russian Victoria Dudakova will debut in the strongest league in the world, who will face the Brazilian Istela Nunes.
