Several new fights have been announced for the UFC’s return to San Antonio including Andrei Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell.

Andrei Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell 2 Set

Alongside this rematch, James Vick (13-3) meets Dan Hooker (17-4) in a lightweight bout and Ray Borg (11-4) steps into the Octagon to take on promotion newcomer Gabriel Silva (7-0) in a bantamweight bout. San Antonio Express-News reported the news on Monday.

The first fight between these two heavyweight sluggers came back in the co-main event of the first Affliction show in July 2008. In this bout, Arlovski knocked out Rothwell in the third round. Now, over a decade later, these two will go at it again.

Arlovski vs. Rothwell

Rothwell fought Blagoy Ivanov at UFC Wichita by losing by unanimous decision in his return fight after being away due to a two-year USADA suspension. The former UFC heavyweight champion is currently on a four-fight losing streak.

Vick has lost two straight fights coming into this bout after winning nine of his first 10 UFC bouts. On the flip side, Hooker suffered a third-round KO loss to Edson Barboza in December, which snapped a streak of four consecutive victories.

The event takes place on July 20, 2019, at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas and will air on ESPN. A headliner for the show has yet to be announced. Here is the updated card:
