A lightweight rematch pitting Mason Jones against Alan Patrick is on tap for an Ultimate Fighting Championship card on Oct. 23.

Both fighters confirmed the booking on social media following an initial report from Combate. The card is expected to be headlined by a middleweight showdown between Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori. A location has not been formally announced.

Jones was performing well agianst Patrick in their first meeting at UFC Fight Night 189 in June before an accidental eye poke from the former Cage Warriors two-division champion resulted in their bout being ruled a no contest at the 2:14 mark of Round 2. The 26-year-old Welshman is still looking for his first promotional triumph after dropping a unanimous verdict against Mike Davis in his debut at UFC on ESPN 20.

Patrick, 38, is winless in his last three UFC appearances dating back to October 2018. Prior to facing Jones, “Nuguette” lost a decision to Bobby Green at UFC Fight Night 177 and was knocked out by Scott Holtzman at UFC 229. The Brazilian won five of his first six Octagon outings before his current skid.
