The 32-year-old will take on Shane Burgos, who is currently #14 in the featherweight division. This exciting featherweight bout will take place in the preliminary card of one of the biggest events this year at UFC 268. The pay-per-view will take place inside the Madison Square Garden in New York on 6th November.
UFC 268 will feature two title rematches on the main card. Kamaru Usman will defend his Welterweight gold against Colby Covington in the main event. Meanwhile, Zhang Weili will clash against Rose Namajunas for the second time in her UFC career for the strawweight gold in the co-main event of the pay-per-view.
The event features another interesting lightweight bout between Michael Chandler and Justin Gaethje. That said, the surging featherweight fighter Billy will look to continue his win streak on such an elite card. He is an interesting fighter who can be the next big thing in the promotion.
