[autotag]Ian Heinisch[/autotag] is wasting no time.
Two days after his UFC 250 victory over Gerald Meerschaert, Heinisch (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) has already been handed his next assignment: [autotag]Brendan Allen[/autotag] on June 27.
The event is scheduled to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Viewing information for the event is not yet available.
Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking Monday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Combate was the first to report the news.
Heinisch snapped a two-fight skid Saturday vs. Meerschaert, knocking out the Roufusport product in the first round. Allen (14-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is a teammate of Meerschaert’s. He’ll not only be looking to avenge his training partner’s recent defeat but also win his seventh-straight fight.
With the addition, the UFC’s June 27 lineup now includes:
- Dustin Poirier vs. Dan Hooker
- Aspen Ladd vs. Sara McMann
- Viviane Araujo vs. Jennifer Maia
- Alexa Grasso vs. Ji Yeon Kim
- Maurice Greene vs. Gian Villante
- Tanner Boser vs. Philipe Lins
- Brendan Allen vs. Ian Heinisch
