The final UFC pay-per-view of the calendar year continues to grow with a new featherweight bout.
TJ Brown (16-9 MMA, 2-3 UFC) is set to take on the newly signed Erik Silva (9-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC 282, according to ESPN Deportes, part of the UFC’s broadcast partnership. UFC 282 takes place Dec. 10 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims expected to air on ESPN and stream on ESPN+.
Brown will try to get back in the win column after a June decision loss to Shayilan Nuerdanbieke. That setback snapped a two-fight winning streak of decisions over Kai Kamaka III and Charles Rosa, which came on the heels of back-to-back losses to open his UFC career after he won a contract through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2019.
