Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Training under former UFC contender Derek Brunson, Frye (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) displayed durability and toughness in a hard-fought promotional debut in December. Frye suffered the first loss of his professional career in a unanimous decision defeat to Guilherme Pat.
Gimenis (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) entered MMA with a decorated grappling background that included medaling in IBJJF Pans, UAEJJF Grand Slam, CBJJ Brazilian Nationals, and IBJJF Worlds. He entered the UFC on a five-fight winning streak but was quickly finished in 58 seconds by Josh Hokit in November.
The updated UFC Vegas 115 lineup includes:
-
Sean Brady vs. Joaquin Buckley
-
Eric McConico vs. Rodolfo Vieira
-
Raoni Barcelos vs. Montel Jackson
