With Rampage Jackson sidelined after a judge granted Bellator MMA a preliminary injunction earlier this week, the UFC has slated Steve Bosse against Fabio Maldonado for UFC 186 on April 25.
Bosse, a former enforcer in the North American Hockey League, will finally make his UFC debut after he retired before his first trip to the Octagon last year. Bosse (10-1) hasn’t fought since May 11, 2013.
Maldonado (22-7) has won four of his last five fights.
Demetrious Johnson will defend his flyweight title against Kyoji Horiguchi in the main event.
