A heavyweight matchup will serve as a late addition to next month’s UFC Fight Night 104 event in Houston.
UFC officials recently announced that seven-time UFC veteranAnthony Hamilton (15-6 MMA, 3-4 UFC) will face Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist and octagon newcomer Marcel Fortuna (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at the event.
