Daukaus, 29, is on the heels of a first-round, buzzer-beating submission victory against Jamie Pickett at UFC Fight Night 201 in February. The finish earned him a Performance of the Night bonus, as he bounced back into the win column following a loss to Phil Hawes and a no contest result against Kevin Holland.
Dolidze, 33, will look to keep his winning ways together as well, coming off a unanimous decision win over Laureano Staropoli in June 2021. After a year away from action due to heath issues, Dolidze has the opportunity to make it two wins in a row.
With the addition, the June 18 lineup includes:
- Julian Marquez vs. Wellington Turman
- Roman Dolidze vs. Kyle Daukaus
- Phil Hawes vs. Deron Winn
