Ivan Menjivar will welcome once-beaten newcomer Azamat Gashimov to the octagon at UFC 154 in Montreal. UFC Canada officials initially reported the news of the bantamweight bout.
The veteran Menjivar (24-9) will look to bounce back from a decision loss to Mike Easton in his most recent outing at UFC 148. The loss snapped a three fight winning streak for Menjivar since his return to the UFC. He had recorded wins over Charlie Valencia, Nick Pace and John Albert.
Gashimov (7-1) was expected to make his promotional debut at UFC on Fuel TV 3 in May. He last fought in July 2011 when he needed just 52 seconds to submit Azay Mamedov. Gashimov has recorded six of his seven wins by stoppage with two via knockout and four by submission.
UFC 154 takes place from the Bell Centre in Montreal on November 17th. Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will return to action against interim champion Carlos Condit in the main event of the fight card.
