The UFC confirmed on Thursday that bantamweights Guido Cannetti (8-4-0) and Danaa Batgerel (6-2-0) will meet at UFC 248 in Las Vegas.
“Ninja,” 40, is trying to return to the win column after suffering a submission loss to Marlon Vera at UFC Fight Night 140 in November 2018. He is 2-3-0 in his last five contests. He was also suspended for 10 months by USADA for testing positive for multiple prohibited substances from a contaminated supplement in late 2016.
