A duel between two promises from the lightweight category was added to UFC Fight Night to be held in the city of San Antonio, on June 28th. Abel Trujillo will try to continue his good moment in Ultimate against the undefeated Myles Jury.

A former North American TUF participant, Jury has a perfect record in professional MMA, winning all of his 14 fights. In the last of them, at UFC 171, he beat the former challenger for the belt Diego Sanchez in the unanimous decision of the judges. Another highlight of his career was the victory over Michael Johnson in December 2012.

Trujillo, in turn, staged one of the most electrifying fights of the year so far. At UFC 169, he knocked out Jamie Varner in a fight full of action and twists. His last setback was in May 2013, when he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision.
