Scheduled for 2024 debut
Tucker will take on Jack Jenkins at UFC 305 on August 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The Canadian featherweight has struggled to be a consistent UFC fighter, fighting just once since 2021 where he was submitted by Diego Lopes. Tucker will fight for his first victory since 2020, taking on Jenkins, who has been in the UFC for just two years since his contender series win.

Quickly taps in return from layoff
Tucker lost to Diego Lopes via submission (armbar) at 1:38 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 50 on Saturday in Nashville.
ANALYSIS
Fighting for the first time since March 2021, Tucker lasted 98 seconds. He landed an easy, single-leg takedown, but Lopes immediately tried for a triangle before transitioning to the armbar that ended the fight. Tucker turned 37 years of age this past June. He won three in a row from July 2019 to December 2020, including two via submission, but he's now been stopped in under a minute in his two bouts since. When you combine Tucker's age with his lack of activity and recent struggles, it's easily to envision a scenario in which the UFC decides to move on.

New opponent scheduled
Tucker is scheduled to fight Diego Lopes in a featherweight bout at UFC Nashville on Aug. 5, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
For the third time, Tucker will look to make his return following a 22-second loss against Dan Ige at UFC Vegas 21 more than two years ago. Varying reasons prevented him from fighting Pat Sabatini twice. Tucker will look to move on by competing against Lopes, whose previous and only UFC fight (so far) was a loss to Movsar Evloev in May.

Out of UFC 273
Tucker won't fight Pat Sabatini at UFC 273 on April 9, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
With T.J. Laramie now scheduled to take on Sabatini at the UFC event on April 16, Tucker will have to wait a little longer before returning to the Octagon. In his last appearance in March of 2021, he lost to Dan Ige via a first-round knockout.

Facing Pat Sabatini in April
Tucker is expected to take on Pat Sabatini at UFC 273 on April 9, USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The pair were booked against each other back in November, but Tucker was forced to withdraw. Sabatini wound up facing Tucker Lutz instead, winning a unanimous decision to give him a 3-0 start to his UFC career. Tucker has been around a bit longer, earning four victories in six UFC fights, though his lone fight in 2021 was a disaster, as it took Dan Ige just 22 seconds to knock him out back in March.
