A welterweight fight has been added to the UFC Fight Night event on April 10. Dropping down to 170 pounds, Impa Kasanganay is set to take on Sasha Palatnikov at a location and venue to be announced. Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking Thursday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Kasanganay (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) looks to rebound from being on the receiving end of MMA Junkie’s 2020 “Knockout of the Year” against Joaquin Buckley lasy October. Prior to that defeat, Kasanganay won a unanimous decision over Maki Pitolo in August. At UFC 255 in November, Palatnikov (6-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) became the first athlete from Hong Kong to compete in a UFC fight.
