Sean Brady vs. Michel Pereira in the works for UFC on ESPN 43 in San Antonio

A key welterweight matchup between Sean Brady and Michel Pereira is the latest addition to March’s UFC on ESPN 43 lineup.

Brady (15-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and Pereira (27-11 MMA, 6-2 UFC) have agreed to meet on the March 25 card, which takes place at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, and airs on ESPN.

MMA Junkie verified the booking is in the works with multiple people close to the situation, who requested anonymity because the UFC has to make an official announcement. MMAFighting.com‘s Damon Martin was first to reporter the news.

Brady, No. 11 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie welterweight rankings, will attempt to rebound from his first career loss. After starting his career with 15 consecutive victories, the American suffered a second-round TKO defeat to Belal Muhammad at UFC 280 in October.

Pereira, an honorable mention in the latest rankings, will try to get a number next to his name at Brady’s expense. The Brazilian has won his past five fights, including notable victories over Santiago Ponzinibbio and Niko Price during that stretch.

The latest UFC on ESPN 43 lineup now includes:

  • Holly Holm vs. Yana Kunitskaya
  • Sean Brady vs. Michel Pereira
  • Manel Kape vs. Alex Perez
  • Maycee Barber vs. Andrea Lee
  • Albert Duraev vs. Chidi Njokuani
  • Daniel Da Silva vs. CJ Vergara
