Two more bouts were reportedly added to the July 20 UFC card in San Antonio, Texas.

Four more men are reportedly headed to San Antonio, Texas, in July.

According to a report by My San Antonio, lightweights James Vick & Dan Hooker, plus bantamweights Ray Borg & Gabriel Silva have all agreed to meet at the UFC on ESPN 4 card.

Currently on a two-fight losing skid, TUF 15 veteran James Vick (13-3) dropped a unanimous decision to Paul Felder and was viciously knocked out by Justin Gaethje in his last two performances. His last victory was a unanimous decision over Francisco Trinaldo back in February 2018.

New Zealand’s Dan Hooker (17-8) will also look to bounce back. In his previous outing, the ‘Hangman’ suffered a prolonged beatdown at the hands of Edson Barboza, culminating in a third round TKO loss. The defeated snapped a four-fight winning streak for the 29-year-old, who finished Gilbert Burns, Jim Miller, Marc Diakiese and Ross Pearson in the process.

Former flyweight title challenger Ray Borg (11-4) has seen better days, too. After his submission loss to Demetrious Johnson, the 25-year-old moved to the bantamweight division to take on Casey Kenney in March 2019. Unfortunately, he only missed weight, but also dropped a unanimous decision to the UFC newcomer. Borg’s last win came in March 2017, when he defeated Jussier Formiga by way of unanimous decision.

Octagon newcomer Gabriel Silva (8-0) has yet to taste defeat in his professional career. A product of Brazil’s Team Nogueira and brother of UFC vet Erick Silva, the 24-year-old will look to make it nine in a row, having already scored four finish wins so far. In his last outing, Silva knocked out Jake Heffernan at Legacy Fighting Championship 63, back in March.

UFC on ESPN 4 is expected to take place in San Antonio, Texas, on July 20. The UFC has yet to announce a main event for the card.
