A welterweight bout between Matt Brown and Tarec Saffiedine will headline the UFC's Feb. 14 Fight Night event in Broomfield, Colo., which is set to on Fox Sports 1.
Both fighters look to bounce back from recent losses to elite competitors, with Brown dropping a decision to Robbie Lawler in July, and Saffiedine getting stopped by Rory MacDonald in October.
Brown's loss to Lawler snapped a seven-fight winning streak in the UFC's welterweight division, which included a string of five straight stoppages.
Saffiedine, the final Strikeforce Champion, had won five fights in a row prior to the MacDonald loss, including a win over Hyun Gyu Lim in his UFC debut. This marks his third straight headlining fight in the UFC.
