Guyanese UFC fighter Carlston Harris to fight in Las Vegas next month

Welterweights Carlston Harris and Ramiz Brahimaj will face off at UFC Vegas 69 on February 18 in Las Vegas.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the booking confirmed the news to MMA Fighting. The official bout order for the winter card has not yet been made official, but a bantamweight clash between Cory Sandhagen and Marlon Vera serves as the main event.
Making his fourth appearance in the octagon, Harris is attempting to bounce back from his first UFC loss, a first-round knockout at the hands of surging contender Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC Vegas 47. That setback had snapped a two-fight UFC winning streak (and five overall, when regional wins are included) for the 35-year-old Guyana native.
Brahimaj approaches the bout on the opposite side of the competitive coin with a recent win under his belt, a first-round submission of Michael Gillmore at UFC Vegas 49. That put him back on the right foot, after a decision loss to vet Court McGee in his prior outing. Overall, Brahimaj stands at 2-2 in the octagon. (MMA)
