Parke to Welcome Kotani Back in Dublin

Rising lightweight star Norman Parke has been tasked with welcoming Japanese veteran Naoyuki Kotani back to the Octagon, with the two to meet on July 19 in the O2 in Dublin for a UFC Fight Night bout.

Northern Ireland's Parke, a winner of the TUF Smashes series, is unbeaten in his UFC campaign thus far, going 3-0-1. Kotani, who went 0-2 in his two Octagon bouts in 2007, has gone on a tear, with his 16-3-2 record since then including 13 consecutive wins.
