DUBLINER NEIL SEERY will become the third Irishman to step into the UFC’s famous Octogon in just 16 days’ time.
‘Two Tap’ has been drafted in as a late replacement for Ian McCall and will take on Brad Pickett at the UFC Fight Night on 8 March.
The organisation have reportedly pinned Seery down to a four-fight deal.
“It’s a great honour and I’m excited for the opportunity to showcase my talent on a world stage,” Seery said in a statement. “He’s an excellent fighter that shows time and time again that he has heart. He is currently my favorite fighter to watch as a fan. It will be a fun fight.”
The 34-year-old has a 13-9 record and fights out of Team Ryano MMA in Dublin.
