Brian Ortega vs. Hacran Dias added to UFC Portland card

A matchup of top 10 featherweights has been added to the UFC Fight Night card in Portland, Oregon, as Hacran Dias prepares to take on Brian Ortega. The Los Angeles Daily News was the first media outlet to report the match.

Ortega (11-0, 1 NC) has not yet experienced a loss in his career and despite an overturned win in his debut, he has scored three finishes over the likes of Diego Brandao, Thiago Tavares, and Clay Guida to establish himself as one of the hottest prospects currently at featherweight.

A seasoned veteran of the sport and the Octagon, Dias (23-4-1) will try and bounce back from his unanimous decision loss to Cub Swanson in his last outing. The Nova Uniao product had a couple of decision wins over Darren Elkins and Levan Makashvili before running into Swanson.

Brian Ortega and Hacran Dias are scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night 96, in Portland, Oregon, on October 1. The Fox Sports 1 event also features a flyweight fight between Louis Smolka and Sergio Pettis, but no main event has been named.
