A middleweight bout between Trevin Giles and Jun Yong Park is the latest addition to the UFC’s growing lineup on Aug 1.
Giles (12-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) posted a signed bout agreement for the matchup with Park (11-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on his social media with all the details included.
The unnamed UFC card on Aug. 1 is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Broadcast plans have not been finalized.
Giles, 27, will make his return to the octagon after edging James Krause in the “Fight of the Night” at UFC 247 in February. It was a key victory for Giles, who had compiled back-to-back losses after starting his career with 11 consecutive wins.
Park, 29, competes in the UFC for the third time after splitting results over his first two appearances. He’s coming off a win, though, having topped Marc-Andre Barriault by unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN+ 23 in December.
With the addition, the latest lineup for UFC’s Aug. 1 event includes:
- Holly Holm vs. Irene Aldana
- Derek Brunson vs. Edmen Shahbazyan
- Trevin Giles vs. Jun Yong Park
