Olympic taekwondo bronze medalist Robelis Despain, who promptly won his UFC debut ten days ago, will return to the octagon on May 11 at UFC on ESPN 56 in St. Louis, and the Cuban’s opponent will be American Waldo Cortez-Acosta.
The heavyweight bout was reported by informed sources close to the situation.
On March 9 at UFC 299 in Miami, 35-year-old Robelis Despain recorded his fifth professional victory by finishing Josh Parisyan by technical knockout in the 18th second of the match.
Waldo Cortez-Acosta, 32, is riding a two-fight win streak, having knocked out Lukasz Brzeski and winning a unanimous decision over former UFC champion Andrei Orlovsky. The heavyweight suffered his last defeat last April, losing a three-round unanimous decision to Marcos Rogerio de Lima.
