UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas has added an exciting clash between Khusein Askhabov and Daniel Pineda to its lineup. This news comes from sources familiar with the matchup, who requested anonymity as the official announcement from the promotion is yet to be made.
Khusein Askhabov, a one-fight UFC alum, will aim to redeem himself after a unanimous decision loss to Jamall Emmers earlier this year. The Chechen fighter has faced multiple challenges in reaching the Octagon, withdrawing from three UFC bouts due to injuries or visa issues.
His opponent, Daniel Pineda, is a seasoned veteran with extensive experience in organizations such as UFC, Bellator, and PFL. Returning to the UFC in 2020 for a second stint, Pineda holds a record of 2-2 with one no contest in his last five appearances. In his most recent fight in June, he engaged in a thrilling three-round battle that ended in a loss to Alex Caceres, earning them the Fight of the Night accolade.
The clash between Askhabov and Pineda adds to the growing anticipation for the UFC Fight Night event scheduled for October 7. As more matchups are unveiled, fight fans eagerly await the full lineup, which promises to deliver an action-packed night of MMA entertainment.
Stay tuned for further updates on the event as the UFC makes its official announcement. In the meantime, mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable evening of fights in Las Vegas.
