Darrell Montague vs. Will Campuzano Added to UFC 171 in Dallas
by John Haigh @JohnBJayHaigh
According to UFC officials Flyweights Darrell Montague and Will Campuzano have agreed to fight at UFC 171 on March 15th in Dallas.
Montague (13-3) enters the fight on the heels of a loss in his UFC debut. After winning four consecutive fights to earn his shot in the Octagon, Montague was knocked out by top contender John Dodson at UFC 166 in October.
Montague’s opponent, Campuzano (13-5), is in a similar situation. He exited the UFC in early 2011 following a 0-2 run, but recently returned following a five-fight winning streak.
Campuzano’s return didn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped, losing a unanimous decision to undefeated Sergio Pettis at UFC 167 in November.
Both fighters will see the fight as a path to redemption.
The UFC 171 fight card is slated for a headlining bout between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler, as they battle for the vacant UFC welterweight title after former champion Georges St-Pierre relinquished the belt last week to take some much-needed time off.
