WINNIPEG — Mixed martial artist Roland Delorme won’t have to wait long to get back in the octagon.
After the Winnipegger flew to England earlier this month only to have his bout with Davey Grant cancelled, Delorme has now been added to the UFC 174 card in Vancouver on June 14.
Delorme will fight UFC newcomer Michinori Tanaka in a bantamweight fight at the Rogers Arena.
Delorme fights out of the Winnipeg-based WAMMA camp run by his trainer, Curtis Brigham.
“No UFC fight is easy, but this guy is beatable,” said Brigham.
Delorme will put his 9-2 record on the line against the 23-year-old Japanese born fighter.
Delorme is coming off a loss to Alex Caceres at UFC 165 in September.
Tanaka will be making his UFC debut and has a perfect 9-0 record with five submission victories in MMA.
