After weight-cutting issues held him out of his first attempted UFC debut in August, Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo will try to make a better impression this December.
According to a report from AZCentral.com, Cejudo will take on Dustin Kimura in a bantamweight matchup at UFC on Fox 13 in his home state of Arizona.
Cejudo was signed by the UFC earlier this summer, but a number of issues in making the flyweight cut were cause for concern. UFC President Dana White said after he was pulled from UFC 177 that he'd only get another shot if he fought at bantamweight, and he's agreed to do just that.
The 27-year-old is undefeated in his MMA run, having won six fights in a row since making his debut in March of 2013.
UFC on Fox 13 takes place from the US Airways Center in Phoenix on Dec. 13, headlined by the heavyweight bout between Junior dos Santos and Stipe Miocic.
