Glover Teixeira, Ian McCall, Nik Lentz & More Official For UFC 208

Not only did UFC 208 get beefed up with the additions of Travis Browne vs. Derrick Lewis and Dustin Poirier vs. Jim Miller, as the UFC announced on Thursday, but the promotion has since announced a slew of confirmed fights for the February pay-per-view event.

Headlined by Holly Holm vs. Germaine de Randamie in the first-ever UFC Women’s Featherweight Title fight, UFC 208 will also feature the returns of Glover Teixeira, Ian McCall and Nik Lentz, among others.

UFC.com reported the following on Thursday regarding the new fights for the card in February:

In the heavyweight division, Brazil’s Luis “KLB” Henrique seeks his third consecutive UFC win when he takes on Poland’s Marcin Tybura, who is coming off a highlight reel knockout of Viktor Pesta in August.

One of the top light heavyweights in the world, No. 3-ranked Glover Teixeira will return to the Octagon to take on Jared Cannonier, whose light heavyweight debut on Dec. 3 saw him earn Fight of the Night honors for his win over Ion Cutelaba.

Next it’s off to the welterweight division, where New York will be well represented in a pair of bouts, as Long Island’s Ryan LaFlare battles Roan Carneiro and Queens’ Randy “Rudeboy” Brown faces New Jersey banger George “The Silencer” Sullivan.

In an intriguing lightweight matchup, Islam Makhachev squares off with veteran Nik Lentz, and then it’s a double shot of flyweight action, as No. 5-ranked Wilson Reis meets Ulka Sasaki and No. 6-ranked Ian McCall gets a second chance to face Dublin’s Neil Seery.

UFC 208: Holm vs. de Randamie takes place live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, February 11, 2017.
