Darrell Montague vs. Will Campuzano joins Dallas’ UFC 171 lineup
The little guys will be part of March’s big UFC 171 lineup with Darrell Montague (13-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and fellow flyweight Will Campuzano (13-5 MMA, 0-3 UFC) now slated to fight at the event.
UFC officials today announced the fight.
UFC 171 takes place March 15 at Dallas’ American Airlines Center. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and MMAjunkie.
It’s not clear where Montague, who’s ranked No. 10 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings, and Campuzano will be placed on the lineup.
Montague, a former Tachi Palace Fights champion, recently won four straight fights to earn a UFC contract. However, in his promotional debut at UFC 166, the 26-year-old suffered a first-round knockout loss to contender John Dodson. Prior to the defeat, Montague was on an overall 10-1 run (the lone loss came in a TPF title fight with Ian McCall).
Campuzano, a former UFC and WEC bantamweight, recently fought his way back into the organization after dropping to flyweight and winning five straight fights on the regional circuit. However, in a late-notice bout with Sergio Pettis, the 27-year-old suffered a unanimous-decision loss at UFC 167. He’s now winless in three UFC fights.
