Tickets for UFC 170 go on sale in less than a week and the UFC has announced another exciting match up for the event. On Saturday morning, it was announced that Erik Koch would be taking on Rafaello Oliveira inside of the octagon in a featherweight bout.
UFC 170 takes place Feb. 22 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Preliminary bouts for the card will air on UFC Fight Pass and FOX Sports 1, before the main card action switches over to pay-per-view.
Both fighters likely need a big win if they want to remain on the UFC roster, so there will be a lot on the line when the two men step inside of the cage.
