A featherweight matchup is the latest addition to UFC 251. On July 11, Makwan Amirkhani will face Danny Henry at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi – also known as “Fight Island.” A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report from Sportti . The person asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Winner of two of his past three, Amirkhani (15-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is coming off a third-round stoppage loss to Shane Burgos this past November at UFC 244. Prior to that, he picked up back-to-back wins over Jason Knight and Chris Fishgold. After scoring wins in his first two octagon bouts over Daniel Teymur and Hakeem Dawodu, Henry (12-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was submitted in the first round by Dan Ige in March 2019 in London
