Briton Parkin to fight at UFC 304 as three bouts added

Unbeaten Parkin made his UFC debut in July

British heavyweight Mick Parkin will face Poland's Lukasz Brzeski at UFC 304 in Manchester on 27 July.

Parkin, 28, who trains with British interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, has won the first nine fights of his career.

He last fought in March, beating Mohammad Usman, for his third victory in the UFC.

The bout is one of five added to the card at the Co-op Live Arena, with Ireland's Caolan Loughran and Shauna Bannon also in action.

Loughran will take on American Ramon Tavares at bantamweight, while Bannon faces Brazilian strawweight Ravena Oliveira.

Elsewhere, Britain's Christian Leroy Duncan fights Polish middleweight Robert Bryczek with Wales' Oban Elliott taking on American Preston Parsons at welterweight.

The event is headlined by Britain's Leon Edwards, who will defend his welterweight title against American Belal Muhammad.

Aspinall puts his belt on the line against American Curtis Blaydes in the co-main.
