Washington's own Michael Chiesa will get a fight in front of a home state crowd this July, as FoxSports.com reports that he'll take on Sweden's Reza Madadi at UFC on Fox 8 in Seattle on July 27.
Chiesa was originally scheduled to take part in the last Fox card in Seattle in December, but an illness sidelined him just a week out from the event. The Ultimate Fighter Live winner would return to action in February, scoring a submission win over Anton Kuivanen to keep his record spotless at 9-0.
Madadi rides the high of a home country win into this event, coming off a thrilling submission win over Michael Johnson at UFC on Fuel 9 earlier this month. That win bounced him back from a split decision loss to Cristiano Marcello in October, and brought him to 2-1 through three fights in the UFC.
