Welterweights Carlston Harris and Ramiz Brahimaj will face off at UFC Vegas 69 on Feb. 18 in Las Vegas.
Multiple people with knowledge of the booking confirmed the news to MMA Fighting. The official bout order for the winter card has not yet been made official, however a bantamweight clash between Cory Sandhagen and Marlon Vera serves as the main event.
Making his fourth octagon appearance, Harris is attempting to bounce back after his first UFC loss, a first-round knockout at the hands of surging contender Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC Vegas 47. The setback snapped a two-fight UFC winning streak (and five overall when including regional wins) for the 35-year-old Guyana native.
Brahimaj is approaching the fight from the other side of the competition coin. He has a recent victory under his belt. A first round submission to Micheal Gillmore UFC Vegas . This put Brahimaj back on track after his previous loss to Court McGee. Overall, Brahimaj stands at 2-2 in the octagon.
