The full card for the final event of the year, UFC On ESPN 63 in Tampa, Florida on December 14th has now been revealed.
It confirms that a welterweight fight between Ian Garry and Joaquin Buckley will headline the show.
The 26-year-old Garry remains unbeaten at 16-0 heading into the fight, including an 8-fight winning streak in the Octagon so far.
Along the way he’s beaten the likes of Daniel Rodriguez, Neil Magny, Geoff Neal and most recently Michael ‘Venom’ Page, taking him to No.6 in the 170lb rankings.
He’ll now be fighting the 30-year-old Buckley, who takes the No.9 spot after a five-fight winning run against the likes of Andre Fialho, Alex Morono, Vicente Luque, Nursulton Ruziboev and just last month a KO finish against Stephen Thompson.
Meanwhile, in the co-main event, Amanda Ribas fights Mackenzie Dern.
The 30-year-old Ribas has been alternating between wins and losses for the past four years, but still holds onto the No.8 spot at 125lbs, while the 31-year-old Dern has also had a mixed run of 4-4 lately, but remains two places above her opponent at No.6.
