A fun lightweight bout has been added to UFC 328.
Grant Dawson announced during the “UFC Fight Night Preview Show” that his next opponent will be Mateusz Rebecki at the event taking place May 9 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. MMA Junkie also confirmed the matchup with multiple sources.

Dawson (23-3-1 MMA, 11-2-1 UFC) will look to get back on track after a first-round loss to Manuel Torres at UFC 323. That result ended a three-fight winning streak for Dawson, which included wins over Joe Solecki, Rafa Garcia, and Diego Ferreira.
Recent results aside, Rebecki (20-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has been a must-watch. He has suffered back-to-back losses that went the distance against Chris Duncan and Ludovit Klein; however, he took home Fight of the Night bonuses for those bouts. Rebecki’s last victory came by split decision against Myktybek Orolbai at UFC 308, which also took home a FOTN bonus.
