UFC has given a featherweight fight between Pat Sabatini and Gavin Tucker another chance. The bout is now being targeted for the promotion’s April 9th event, per a report from Nolan King and John Morgan of MMA Junkie.
The fight joins a card that doesn’t have a confirmed location at the moment. The booking is also the first to be reported for that date.
Sabatini and Tucker were first booked to meet on a card in November, although that plan was thrown out after Tucker withdrew from the fight.
Sabatini still competed on that date, scoring a decision win over Tucker Lutz. The win was his third since joining the promotion earlier this year.
The new booking offers Sabatini a chance to score his fourth win just before his rookie year in the UFC expires.
Tucker will be fighting to return to the win column. He had a three-fight winning streak broken in March, as Dan Ige put him away in 22 seconds with strikes.
