Montague vs Campuzano announced for UFC 171

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.

UFC finally sign another flyweight

Montague gets a tough debut at UFC 166

by Jack Broadey @J3cK_b

On October 16th, Darrell Montague will step foot in to the UFC's octagon to make his debut against John Dodson. There are plenty of very good flyweight fighters around and the UFC Flyweight division is very shallow. It should therefore come as no surprise the UFC have added Darrell Montague to its ranks.

Montague has long been rumoured to be in the UFC crosshairs and they've finally got there man. He brings a credible 13-2 record into the Octagon. In 2011 he defeated former UFC fighter Ulysez Gomez for the Tachi Palace flyweight title. He was defeated by current contender Ian "uncle creepy" McCall. He has since gone on a 4 fight winning streak.

His debut will be as tough as they come as he takes on former title challenger John Dodson. Dodson gave champion Demetrius Johnson everything he could handle but ultimately came up just short. He will be looking to bounce right back into title contention with a win here and in the process knock back another potential challenger.
