The UFC today announced three more fights for UFC 212.
Antonio Carlos Junior (7-2-1, 4-2-1) vs. Eric Spicely (10-1, 2-1), Johnny Eduardo (28-10, 3-2 UFC) vs. Matthew Lopez (9-1, 1-1 UFC) and Marco Beltran (8-4, 3-1 UFC) vs. Deiveson Alcantara (11-0, 0-0 UFC) have been added to the card.
UFC 212, which is headlined by a featherweight unification title fight between Jose Aldo and Max Holloway, takes place June 3 in Rio de Janeiro. The pay-per-view portion of the card will follow prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Junior-Spicely promises to be an interesting middleweight bout between jiu-jitsu specialists. Eduardo is coming off a TKO win over Manvel Gamburyan last November and will look for back-to-back wins against Lopez, who won a unanimous decision over Mitch Gagnon in December.
Beltran will be looking to rebound from a loss to Joe Soto in November, but it likely won’t be easy against the unbeaten Alcantara, who will be making his UFC debut. Of Alcantara’s 11 wins, 10 have come by stoppage.
