UFC 248 adds Guido Cannetti vs. Danaa Batgerel to lineup

An Argentina vs. China showdown is coming to Las Vegas.

Bantamweights Guido Cannetti and Danaa Batgerel will square off at UFC 248, the promotion announced Thursday.

UFC 248 takes place March 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims expected for ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.

Argentina’s Cannetti (8-4 MMA, 2-3 UFC) will return to action for the first time in almost 16 months. In his most recent outing at UFC Fight Night 140 in November 2018, Cannetti had the opportunity to fight on his birth country’s inaugural UFC card. However, his homecoming was spoiled when he was submitted in the second round by Marlon “Chito” Vera.

As for Batgerel (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC), the 30-year-old Chinese fighter made his promotional debut in August against fellow UFC newcomer Heili Alateng. While the unanimous decision wasn’t judged in his favor, Batgerel walked away with an extra $50,000 for “Fight of the Night” honors.

No headliner has been confirmed for UFC 248 at this time, though a strawweight title fight between Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk has been announced.

With the addition, the UFC 248 lineup includes:

  • Champ Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk – for strawweight title
  • Li Jingliang vs. Neil Magny
  • Jared Cannonier vs. Robert Whittaker
  • Beneil Dariush vs. Drakkar Klose
  • Danaa Batgerel vs. Guido Cannetti

Henry Cejudo: Bo Nickal needs to hold his horses, ‘maybe 10 fights away from possibly becoming UFC champion’

Henry Cejudo doesn’t think Bo Nickal is quite ready for the top after UFC 300. Nickal (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) remained unbeaten when he submitted Cody Brundage (10-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) in Round 2 of Saturday’s main card opener at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Nickal gave himself two...
