Brendan Allen and Ian Heinisch have set a date to throw down – again.
The middleweight duo were scheduled to meet on June 27, only to have Heinisch (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) drop out of the fight late. But now they’re ready to tangle again as Heinisch and Allen (15-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) will meet Nov. 7.
MMA Junkie confirmed with multiple sources a Thursday report by MMA DNA.
Heinisch made a big impression last time out, at UFC 250, with a first-round knockout of Gerald Meerschaert. That snapped a two-fight losing streak and was his first UFC victory by finish.
Allen, for his part, looks to make it four straight wins. Last time out, he earned a unanimous decision over late replacement Kyle Daukaus on that June 27 card.
The has been no venue named for the Nov. 7 event, which does not yet have an official name.
With the addition, the lineup includes:
- Brendan Allen vs. Ian Heinisch
- Vanessa Melo vs. Sarah Moras
