The first addition to the UFC’s debut event in Copenhagen is official as Gunnar Nelson meets Thiago Alves in a welterweight contest.

It was announced by the promotion on Wednesday.

Nelson is coming off a split decision loss to Leon Edwards at UFC London and is also 1-2 in his last three fights. He will look to establish a winning streak and climb the ranks further with a win against Alves.

As for Alves, the Brazilian is 1-3 in his last four fights and was most recently outpointed by Laureano Staropoli at UFC 237 last month in Brazil. His only win was a controversial split decision against Max Griffin earlier this year.

UFC Copenhagen takes place September 28 at the Royal Arena. The UFC announced it would travel to Denmark earlier this month with tickets recently going on sale. There is no main event booked as of now, however, UFC middleweight Jack Hermansson has called to headline the event against Kelvin Gastelum.

Expect more fight announcements in the coming weeks.

The UFC is continuing to expand its footprint as its first-ever event in Denmark was announced on Saturday.

It will take place at Royal Arena in the country’s capital of Copenhagen on September 28.

It will be aired on ESPN+ with tickets expected to go on sale later this month. No bouts are currently announced for the card yet.

However, it is expected to be filled with a number of European fighters. There is currently very little Danish representation on the UFC roster but the promotion could call some former fighters back.

Nicolas Dalby is one, who is the current Cage Warriors FC interim welterweight champion. The Dane notably defeated Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and fought to a majority decision draw with Darren Till in 2015. However, he would lose his next two UFC fights before leaving for CWFC.

There is also former featherweight Mads Burnell, who went 1-2 in the UFC before also departing for CWFC last year.

Current UFC lightweight Damir Hadzovic is a Bosnian-born Dane who could also feature on the card. He was most recently outpointed by Christos Giagos at UFC Stockholm on Saturday.

Whatever happens, one can expect fight announcements soon for UFC Copenhagen.
