Neil Seery booked to face former UFC title challenger in Rotterdam

The Dubliner will take on Kyoji Horiguchi.

DUBLINER NEIL SEERY will face Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC Fight Night: Overeem v Arlovski in May.

The Irish Sun report that the 37-year-old has agreed to the take up the offer from UFC chiefs.

Seeryโ€™s last outing in the Octagon was the memorable submission win over Jon Delos Reyes at UFC Dublin in the Three Arena last October.

Horiguchi, the sixth-ranked flyweight, was submitted by Demetrious Johnson last year in the main event at UFC 186.

โ€œHe has a karate-type stance, which is really awkward to fight against,โ€ he told Aidan Oโ€™Donoghue. โ€He hits hard, he has good wrestling. Itโ€™s going to be one of the hardest fights Iโ€™ve had at flyweight.โ€
