Multiple outlets confirmed the booking following an initial report by MMA Ideas. The card is headlined by a featherweight showdown between Calvin Kattar and Giga Chikadze but does not yet have an official venue or location.

Buckley rose to prominence on the strength of a 2020 “Knockout of the Year” victory against Impa Kasanganay at UFC Fight Night 179. The 27-year-old Missouri native is 3-2 in the Las Vegas-based promotion, with additional KO wins against Jordan Wright and Antonio Arroyo to his credit.

Alhassan, meanwhile snapped a three-bout skid with a 17-second head kick knockout of Alessio Di Chirico at UFC on ESPN 30 on Aug. 28. The 36-year-old Fortis MMA product won four of his first five Octagon outings — all inside of a round — before dropping successive fights against Mounir Lazzez, Kalinn Williams and Jacob Malkoun.
