Parsons will fight Uros Medic at UFC Vegas 82 on Nov. 18, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Parsons is coming off a victory over Danny Roberts via TKO at UFC Fight Night in July. It was an ideal start for his first UFC bout. He will look to carry that momentum into his match with Medic, who has won two straight and sits at 3-1 with the company.
Wins debut in enemy territory
WelterweightUFC
July 22, 2023
Parsons defeated Danny Roberts via TKO (punches) at 4:57 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Parsons was awarded a UFC contract despite winning a controversial split decision on Dana White's Contender Series in October 2021. He hadn't fought since. He entered as a +120 underdog in taking on Roberts here in enemy territory and did a nice job of hanging early early on before finding his range in Round 2. Facing an opponent in Roberts with questionable durability, Parsons -- who is known for his power -- secured two knockdowns in the second frame, eventually landing so much damage that referee Jason Herzog was forced to step in. Expect Parsons to try to get back in the Octagon as soon as possible considering all the time he's spent on the sidelines recently. In the meantime, he'll earn an extra $50,000 for his efforts here, as this matchup was awarded Fight of the Night honors.
