One of the most highly-touted UFC signees from this past season of Dana White's Contender Series has his debut set.
One of the hottest prospects fresh off Dana White's Contender Series has his UFC debut set.
Undefeated Ronald Humphrey will take on Nikolay Veretennikov at UFC 335 on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Two people with knowledge of the fight recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Georgia's Humphrey (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) turned heads with his powerful and dominant showing against Alexis Miranda that earned him a UFC contract on DWCS in August. The win maintained his perfect 100 percent finishing rate. Through four amateur fights and five pro fights, Humphrey has never seen a second round.
Kazakhstan's Veretennikov (14-8 MMA, 2-4 UFC) has had ups and downs in the UFC, though has remained a tough outing for many he's faced at welterweight. He's 2-2 in his most recent four, having most recently competed in May when he was knocked out by Khaos Williams.
