UFC 330 has added another 170-pound matchup to the slate.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a bout between Myktybek Orolbai and Jeremiah Wells is set for UFC 330. The event takes place Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
Oralbai first announced the matchup on social media.
The 28-year-old Orolbai is 5-1 in the UFC since making his debut in November 2023, mixing things up in matchups between lightweight and welterweight. Now finding a home in the welterweight division, Orolbai enters the bout on a three-fight win streak, including stoppage victories over Tofiq Musayev and Jack Hermansson, along with a lopsided decision win against Chris Curtis in his most recent outing in March.
Wells is set to kick off his sixth year with the promotion as he looks to build on a decision win against Themba Gorimbo this past November. Prior to that, the Philadelphia native had dropped two straight against Carlston Harris and Max Griffin.
UFC 330 is headlined by a welterweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry.
