A bantamweight bout between Joseph Sandoval (6-1) and recently-signed Nick Denis (10-2) has been confirmed for the fight card of UFC on FX.
Sandoval, a 25-year-old prospect out of Bighead MMA, looks to rebound after suffering the professional loss of his career in his 77-second UFC debut against Walel Watson. Prior to the setback, the native Texan ripped though six straight wins inside regional promotions.
Denis, affectionately known as "The Ninja of Love", is a 5'6" knockout artist from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He storms into the UFC on the heels of a stunning performance against Nick Mamalis that ended with a violent suplex knockout. Previously, Denis racked up wins in nine of eleven contests, with eight of them coming by way of knockout.
