A member of the Elite Training Center, Giagos has won eight of 10 professional appearances, with six victories coming inside the distance. The more experienced Magakian, meanwhile, has 19 pro bouts to his credit; nine of the Hayastan Studio product’s 13 triumphs have come via submission.

Co-headliners Olaf Alonso (150.6) and Adrian Diaz (149.8) were also cleared for their lightweight clash. An 11-time WEC veteran, Alonso hasn’t competed since losing via doctor stoppage against Kyle Pimental in May 2009. Diaz has five wins in 9 fights, most recently falling to current UFC talent Andre Fili via third-round TKO more than one year ago.

Also of note on Thursday’s card is two-time Octagon veteran Eddie Yagin (145.4), who hasn’t stepped into the cage since upsetting Mark Hominick at UFC 145. “The Filipino Phenom” will lock horns with Diego Saraiva (145.4) in a rematch of a 2009 contest which Saraiva won via doctor stoppage in round three.
