A bantamweight bout is the latest addition to UFC on ESPN+ 15 in Shenzhen, China.
Andre Soukhamthath will face Su Mudaerji on Aug. 31 at the Shenzhen Universade Sports Centre Arena, the promotion announced Tuesday.
Soukhamthath (13-7 MMA, 2-4 UFC) has struggled to find consistency since joining the UFC roster as he looks to bounce back from his last fight, a unanimous-decision loss to Montel Jackson at UFC 236. “The Asian Sensation” will get to compete in Asia for the first time in his professional MMA career when he takes on Mudaerji.
Mudaerji (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) dropped his UFC debut, a first-round submission to Louis Smolka at UFC Fight Night 141. He will look for his first win in the UFC in his home country.
With the addition, the latest UFC on ESPN+ 15 lineup includes:
- Champ Jessica Andrade vs. Weili Zhang – for strawweight title
- Anthony Hernandez vs. Jun Yong Park
- Mark De La Rosa vs. Kai Kara-France
- Li Jingliang vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos
- Andre Soukhamthath vs. Su Mudaerji
