Another fight has been added to the UFC's return to Cincinnati this May, as featherweights Nik Lentz and Manny Gamburyan have verbally agreed to meet on the card.
Lentz hopes to bounce back from a decision loss to Chad Mendes in his last outing at UFC on Fox 9 in Sacramento in December, his first as a featherweight. He had looked very good in his first two 145 lb. fights, and gave Mendes a tough test as a replacement opponent on that card, but he was taken down a few times in what ended up being the deciding factor of the fight.
He'll try to get back on track in his featherweight run against Gamburyan, who needs to bounce back from a loss of his own. Since returning to the UFC in 2011, Gamburyan has lost three of his five fights, most recently dropping a decision to Dennis Siver in December.
The UFC's return to Cincinnati comes on May 10. No headliner is yet set, but the event is expected to air live on Fox Sports 1.
