Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos to Face Mounir Lazzez at UFC Fight Night on April 16

A welterweight showdown between Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and Mounir Lazzez has been added to the lineup for an Ultimate Fighting Championship card on April 16.

MMAFighting.com was first to report the booking. The UFC Fight Night event takes place at an as yet to be announced location and is headlined by a rematch between Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad.

Dos Santos last appeared at UFC 267, where he authored a lopsided beatdown in a unanimous decision win over Benoit St. Denis this past October. The 35-year-old Brazilian is 2-2 in his last four Octagon appearances, also earning a win over Alexey Kunchenko in March 2020.

Lazzez, meanwhile, gained some attention when he defeated knockout artist Abdul Razak Alhassan via unanimous decision in his Octagon debut at UFC on ESPN 13. In his next outing, the Tunisian didn’t fare so well, falling to Warlley Alves in a first-round TKO loss at UFC on ESPN 20.
