The UFC has added a couple of new fights to the UFC Fight Night 78 card in Monterrey, Mexico, this November, which will serve as "The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2" Finale.
It was announced this week that Hector Urbina will take on Bartosz Fabinski, while Valmir Lazaro meets Michel Prazeres on the card, which will air live on Fox Sports 1 with a welterweight headliner between Matt Brown and Kelvin Gastelum.
Urbina made his UFC debut on the UFC's first ever event in Mexico, defeating Edgar Garcia at UFC 180 last November. This will be his first fight since then, and he'll try to take out Poland's Fabinski, who made his own successful UFC debut in April in his home country, defeating Gareth McLellan by decision.
Brazilians Lazaro and Prazeres have each split their appearances in the Octagon thus far. Lazaro's only fought twice in the UFC so far, and after a decision loss to James Vick in his debut, he defeated James Krause by split decision. Prazeres lost his UFC debut as well, then picked up wins over Jesse Ronson and Mairbek Taisumov before losing to Kevin Lee in his most recent fight.
