A featherweight bout between Diego Brandao (15-8 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Pablo Garza (12-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is now official for UFC on FUEL TV 9, and three other recently reported fights are now official for the April card.
Brandao vs. Garza, which MMAnytt.se and kimura.se today reported, is the 12th addition to the card.
UFC on FUEL TV 9 takes place April 6 at Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm. The event's main card airs on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook.
It's not clear where Brandao vs. Garza will land on the fight card.
Brandao, "The Ultimate Fighter 14" winner, submitted Dennis Bermudez to win the reality show before suffering a decision loss to Darren Elkins in his next outing. However, the Team Jackson-Winkeljohn fighter rebounded in October with a decision victory over Joey Gambino. The hard-hitting grappler has now won five of his past six pro fights.
He now meets the 6-foot-1 Garza, who recently ended a two-fight losing skid (to Dustin Poirier and Dennis Bermudez) with a hard-fought unanimous-decision victory over former title challenger Mark Hominick. Before the skid, the North Dakota-based WEC vet earned fight-night bonuses after knocking out Fredson Paixao and submitting Yves Jabouin in his first two UFC fights.
Other recently reported fights that are now official for the card include welterweights Chris Spang vs. Adlan Amagov, lightweights Reza Madadi (12-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs. Michael Johnson (12-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC), and middleweights Michael Kuiper (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs. Tom Lawlor (8-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC).
