Bantamweight Bout Bewteen Takeya Mizugaki and Nam Phan Booked for UFC Fight Night 33 in Brisbane on Dec 7th, 2013

A bantamweight bout between Takeya Mizugaki and Nam Phan has been added to the UFC Fight Night 33 card.

UFC Fight Night 33 is headlined by a five-round heavyweight bout between Mark Hunt and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva. It is slated for Dec. 7 in Brisbane, Australia. It airs on Dec. 6 in the United States due to the time difference.

Mizugaki (18-7-2) has fought under the Zuffa banner for more than four years, beginning with the WEC in 2009. His tenure has been a roller coaster ride the majority of that time, but Japanese fighter is currently on a three-fight winning streak.

Mizugaki most recently won a split decision victory over Erik Perez, disrupting the Brazilian’s string of eight consecutive victories.

Pham (18-11), however, finds his roster spot in jeopardy heading into this fight. He has alternated between wins and losses in his last four trips to the Octagon, where he holds a 2-4 record since emerging from season 12 of The Ultimate Fighter.

Pham most recently dropped unanimous decision to Dennis Siver at UFC on Fox 5 in last December.
