Malcolm Wellmaker and Doo Ho Choi each reportedly added to UFC Vegas 117 card<\/h2>\n

On May 16, Arnold Allen will face Melquizael Costa in a featherweight essential event on the Meta Apex.<\/p>\n

The event, which takes place on the identical day as MVP MMA 1 from the Intuit Dome, has recently had several latest additions to the cardboard reported.<\/p>\n

Malcolm Wellmaker\u2019s stock took a large hit last trip when he suffered an upset loss after starting his UFC profession with two impressive knockouts in the primary round.<\/p>\n

Based on Marcel Dorff<\/a>, he\u2019s back at UFC Vegas 117 to tackle latest arrival Juan Diaz, a 27-year-old Peruvian fighter who won his contract with a spinning back elbow knockout on Dana White\u2019s Contender Series.<\/p>\n

A report from AgFight<\/a> states that this event can even feature the long-awaited return of fan favorite featherweight Doo Ho Choi.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Korean Superboy\u2019 recorded back-to-back wins when he stopped Nate Landwehr at UFC 310 in December of 2024, but has been inactive since.<\/p>\n

He’ll look to halt the four-fight win streak of Brazil\u2019s Daniel Santos, who he was scheduled to face last September before the matchup fell through.<\/p>\n
