Charlie Ward welcomes newcomer Galore Bofando to octagon at UFC Fight Night 113

As Conor McGregor previously announced, his SBG Ireland teammate will compete at UFC Fight Night 113 in Scotland.

UFC officials today announced that Irish welterweight Charlie Ward (3-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will face English newcomer Galore Bofando (4-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at the event, which takes place July 16 it SSE Hydro in Glasgow.

A main event for the card has yet to be announced. The main card airs on FS1.

Ward had a rough go in his UFC debut, suffering a 53-second knockout loss to undefeated prospect Abdul Razak Alhassan at this past November’s UFC Fight Night 99 event in Northern Ireland. Ward now finds himself in a must-win situation.

Meanwhile, Bofando boasts a rather dubious MMA record but is a talented striker hailing from England. Three of his four career MMA wins have come by way of knockout. Check out the video below to see Bofando in action in a 2012 matchup under the Ultimate Challenge MMA banner.

With the addition to the card, UFC Fight Night 113 now includes:

• Paul Craig vs. Khalil Rountree
• Ryan Janes vs. Jack Marshman
• Mark Godbeer vs. Justin Willis
• Galore Bofando vs. Charlie Ward
