A bantamweight matchup is the latest addition to the UFC’s Nov. 14 lineup.
Tony Gravely (19-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will face Geraldo de Freitas (12-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in the event that takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking Wednesday, but they anonymity since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
After earning a contract on “Dana White’s Contender Series” in August 2019, Gravely dropped his UFC debut when he was submitted by Brett Johns at UFC on ESPN+ 24 in January.
De Freitas has split his first two UFC appearances, picking up a win over Felipe Colares in February 2019, then getting edged out by Chris Gutierrez at UFC on ESPN+ 14 last August. He was scheduled to face Jack Shore at UFC on ESPN+ 29 in March, but the event was canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
