Makwan Amirkhani vs. Mike Grundy added to UFC on ESPN+ 29 in London

A featherweight bout between Makwan Amirkhani and Mike Grundy is the latest addition to March’s UFC on ESPN+ 29 lineup.

MMA Junkie today verified the matchup between Amirkhani (15-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Grundy (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) with multiple people close to the situation following an initial report from BetSafe.com.

Amirkhani, 31, will attempt to rebound from the first knockout loss of his career. He was stopped by Shane Burgos at UFC 244 in November, snapping a two-fight winning streak for the Finnish fighter.

Grundy, 32, meanwhile, will attempt to carry momentum forward after pulling off an upset TKO of Nad Narimani at UFC on ESPN+ 5 in March in his octagon debut. It’ll have been more than a year since that fight by the time he competes again, but the Brit is riding a nine-fight winning streak.

UFC on ESPN+ 29 takes place March 21 at The O2 in London. The entire card streams on ESPN+.
