It emerged this afternoon that British bantamweight Vaughan Lee (14-9-1) will take on Brazilian Iuri Alcantara (29-5-1) on the upcoming UFC Fight Night 41 card.
The exciting UTC Birmingham fighter Lee who currently holds a UFC record of 3-3, put on the most impressive display of his 6-fight UFC career with a dominant unanimous decision win over Nam Phan at UFC Fight Night: Macao last month.
