The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s November 22nd card in Austin, Texas, has received a notable flyweight bout, as Joseph Benavidez will square off with Dustin Ortiz. The UFC announced the match-up on Tuesday.

UFC FN 57 will be hosted by Austin’s Frank Erwin Center. The card’s main event has yet to be announced.

Ortiz (14-3) has scored split decision wins over Ray Borg and Justin Scoggins most recently, after he was decisioned by John Moraga in January.
