The UFC announced another bantamweight bout this evening, to take place on the UFC 132 card in Las Vegas this July. Former WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles will look to take another step towards regaining his belt against Japanese slugger, Takeya Mizugaki. Mizugaki made his UFC debut in March, taking a split decision win over Reuben Duran, while Bowles choked out Damacio Page for a second time on the same card.
“Brian Bowles looks to regain the bantamweight championship title, but first he’ll have to take on hard-hitting perennial top-10 contender Takeya Mizugaki at UFC 132,” said Dana White.
