The full fight card for the UFC Fight Night event to be held on April 27th at UFC Apex in Las Vegas has been revealed.
The flyweight main event between Manel Cape and Mateusz Nikolaou has already been announced, while the co-main event will feature a light heavyweight showdown between Ryan Spann and Bogdan Guskov.
Promotion officials officially announced the 13-game lineup on Thursday. Spann (21-9 MMA, 7-4 UFC) vs. Guskov (15-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was one of two previously unreported bouts. The other bout is a women's strawweight bout between former Invicta champion Ketlen Souza (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Dana White's Contender Series alum Marnik Mann (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC). It was match match.
Spann, 32, will be looking to shake off a two-fight slide heading into the fight following back-to-back losses to Nikita Krylov and Anthony Smith. Now, Spann faces off against a man many people think looks similar to Smith.
Guskov, 31, has split his previous UFC appearances. He made his promotional debut against rated opponent Volkan Oezdemir, but lost the bout by rear-naked choke in the first round. In February, Guskov earned his first UFC victory with a first-round knockout of Zach Pauga.
The lineup for UFC Fight Night on April 27th is as follows:
- Manel Cape vs. Mateusz Nicolaou
