Chris Curtis will look to derail the hype of another highly touted prospect.
Curtis (28-8 MMA, 2-0 UFC) meets Dricus Du Plessis (16-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) April 9 at UFC 273, which doesn’t yet have an announced venue or location.
A person with knowledge of the booking verified the news to MMA Junkie after an initial report by MMA Fighting but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make a formal announcement.
