Demian Maia vs. Anthony Rocco Martin planned for UFC on ESPN 3

A venerable veteran makes his return to the octagon at UFC on ESPN 3, where he’ll take on a game up-and-comer.

Demian Maia will meet Anthony Rocco Martin in a welterweight matchup on the June 29 event in Minneapolis. MMA Junkie confirm an initial report by the Brazilian website Combate.

Maia (26-9 MMA, 20-9 UFC), who has challenged for both the middleweight and welterweight championships during a UFC run which dates back to 2007, is coming off a first-round submission of Lyman Good at UFC Fortaleza on Feb. 1. That got Maia back into the win column after a three-fight losing streak.

Martin (16-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC), for his part, gets his biggest career fight on the strength of a four-fight win streak. The scrappy Bostonian decisioned Sergio Moraes in his last octagon encounter at UFC Wichita.

UFC Minneapolis will be headlined by a rematch between Tyron Woodley and Robbie Lawler. Woodley knocked out Lawler in the opening round of their UFC 201 fight to claim the welterweight crown.
