Cub Swanson and Dooho Choi will square off this December at UFC 206, the promotion announced.
Swanson (23-7) owns eight Octagon wins in 11 fights, including victories over Hacran Dias and Tatsuya Kawajiri. He had contemplated retirement following losses to Frankie Edgar and Max Holloway before deciding to continue his career.
Choi (15-1) has taken the world by storm, as “The Korean Superboy” owns 13 consecutive wins. Included in that run are eight knockouts and two “Performance of the Night” bonuses. The 25-year-old has bested Juan Puig, Sam Sicilia and Thiago Tavares since signing with the UFC.
UFC 206 takes place December 10 from Toronto and the Air Canada Centre. Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson for the light heavyweight title is the expected main event.
