A report from a prominent MMA website suggests the UFC have lined up an opponent to face Paddy Holohan at UFC Dublin.

A fight between the Hooligan and Hawaiian flyweight Louis Smolka is expected to be officially added to UFC Fight Night Dublin on October 24th, so MMA Fighting is reporting. Holohan (12-1-1, 3-1 UFC) recently defeated Vaughan Lee via unanimous decision in Glasgow. The Dubliner dominated his opponent which saw him get the nod from the judges who all scored the fight 30-27 in favour of the Hooligan. Following the victory, he called out Smolka (9-1, 3-1 UFC) to avenge his compatriot Neil Seery's loss at UFC 189 to the Hawaiian. The 24-year-old swiftly accepted the Dubliner's challenge on Twitter. https://twitter.com/LASTSAMURAIUFC/status/622461222328229888 Check back with us and we'll keep you updated as this one plays out.
