Quality addition

There’s no Irish interest in the latest bouts to be added to UFC Fight 76, but it’s an exciting bout nonetheless.

Scottish lightweight Stevie Ray will take on French fighter Mickael Lebout in a lightweight contest on the highly anticipated UFC Dublin card on October 24th.

Ray (18-5, 2-0 UFC) enters into this one off the back of a stellar first round knockout victory over Leonardo Mafra Texeira on the first Scottish-based UFC event in Glasgow.

His opponent, Lebout (14-4-1-1NC, 1-1 UFC) also enters into this one off the back of a win. The French man scored a unanimous decision victory over Teemu Packalen on the Glasgow card in July.

At the time of writing. the confirmed bouts for the UFC Fight Night 76 in Dublin are as follows;

Joseph Duffy vs Dustin Poirier
Stipe Miocic vs Ben Rothwell

Norman Parke vs Reza Madadi
Cathal Pendred vs Tom Breese
Scott Askham vs Krzysztof Jotko
Bubba Bush vs Garreth McLellan
Paddy Holohan vs Louis Smolka (not confirmed by UFC)
