Andre Fialho will step into the octagon for the third time in three months at UFC 275.
After asking for a quick turnaround, Fialho (16-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) will get his wish when he faces Jake Matthews (17-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) on June 11 at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
A person with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Full Violence was first to report the news.
In less than two months, Fialho notched first-round, Performance of the Night knockouts over Miguel Baeza at UFC on ESPN 34 in April and most recently Cameron VanCamp at UFC 274 earlier this month.
