Josh Emmett To Meet Youssef Zalal At UFC 320
Emmett has lost three of his last four. After over a year away from the Octagon, Emmett returned at UFC Vegas 105 in April, dropping a decision to potential future title challenger Lerone Murphy.
Zalal has won his last seven straight and is a perfect 4-0 since returning to the UFC last year.
UFC 320 is headlined by a light heavyweight title rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira and Merab Dvalshvili defending the bantamweight championship against Cory Sandhagen.
