Phil Hawes and Chris Curtis are set to fight, just a bit later than expected.
MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the matchup that Hawes (11-2) will fight Curtis (26-8) in a middleweight bout at UFC 268 on Nov. 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The two were briefly tied to a fight at UFC Vegas 39 this past weekend after Hawes lost originally scheduled opponent Deron Winn.
