A lightweight bout between Nik Lentz (20-3-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Waylon Lowe (10-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) is the final addition to next month’s UFC Fight Night 24 event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently passed along news of the bout, and UFC executives since have made it official.
The preliminary-card lineup is the 12th addition to the March 26 card.
UFC Fight Night 24 takes place at KeyArena in Seattle and airs live on Spike TV. A light-heavyweight tilt between Phil Davis and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira headlines the card.
Lentz most recently took on Tyson Griffin this past November at UFC 123 and earned an upset split-decision win. It was Lentz’s fourth victory inside the octagon. Still, the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy product has received stern criticism for a perceived “lay-and-pray” approach to fighting. Prior to the Griffin victory, Lentz met Andre Winner at UFC 118 and took the British fighter down at will in a one-sided (and less-than-explosive) win.
