Karo Parisyan (18-4) is booked to meet Thiago Alves (13-3) in a welterweight tilt at UFC Fight Night 13 at the Broomfield Event Center in Broomfield, Colorado on April 2.
Speculation about the 170-pound clash has been swirling for the past week.
Parisyan is on a three-fight win streak and has won 11 of his 13 career fights inside the Octagon. “The Heat” most recently outlasted Ryo Chonan at UFC 78: “Validation” in November 2007 to earn a unanimous decision. After the bout he revealed that he broke his hand during the action.
