A fight between Hacran Dias and Chas Skelly is headed to UFC Fight Night 70 in Florida next month, with Dias announcing the bout on Instagram on Monday.
The 31-year-old Dias has split his four appearances in the Octagon thus far. After a win over Iuri Alcantara in his UFC debut, Dias dropped decisions to Nik Lentz and Ricardo Lamas before bouncing back in December with a win over Darren Elkins.
As for Skelly, the 30-year-old has been a mostly excellent addition to the UFC's featherweight roster thus far. He lost his debut on somewhat short notice last April by majority decision to Mirsad Bektic, but has rattled off three straight wins since then. That stretch includes stoppage wins over Tom Niinimaki and, most recently, Jim Alers.
UFC Fight Night 70 hits Hollywood, Fla., on June 27, headlined by the middleweight bout between Lyoto Machida and Yoel Romero.
