The UFC continues to build the line-up for its April 26th card in Baltimore, as the promotion has announced that Max Holloway will fight fellow featherweight prospect Andre Fili on that date. UFC 172 will be hosted by the Baltimore Arena and will feature light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones taking on Glover Teixeira.

Holloway (8-3) is coming off  a stoppage win over Will Chope at UFC FN 34 earlier this month, after the 22 year-old was defeated by Conor McGregor and Dennis Bermudez.

The 23 year-old Fili (13-1) made his Octagon debut at UFC 166 in October, and took out Jeremy Larsen with strikes. The featherweight has won nine straight bouts.

The other bouts that have been confirmed for UFC 172 to date include Jake Ellenberger vs. Tarec Saffiedine and Joe Ellenberger vs. Yancy Medeiro.
