The UFC was busy announcing fights on Thursday, and they've added another to the April 19 card in Orlando.
Following a short notice debut in Singapore against Tatsuya Kawajiri at UFC Fight Night 34, Sean Soriano will get another chance to make an impression when he takes on Estevan Payan in featherweight action.
Soriano was highly touted coming into the Kawajiri fight, and had some success in the fight before getting submitted in the second round. The loss was just Soriano's first in nine career fights.
Payan is getting one more shot at a win in the UFC after losing his first two fights in the organization. The former Strikeforce competitor entered the UFC on an eight fight unbeaten streak, but he was defeated by Jeremy Stephens and Robbie Peralta in back to back fights last year.
The April 19 event in Orlando will be UFC on Fox 11, and is headlined by the heavyweight bout between Travis Browne and Fabricio Werdum.
