Riki Fukuda-Tom Deblass added to UFC on Fuel TV 6

Former Deep champion Riki Fukuda

Up and coming middleweight Tom DeBlass will face Riki Fukuda at UFC on Fuel TV 6, which takes place Nov. 10 at the Cotaiarena in Catai, Macau. TheScore.com broke the news of the bout, which has since been confirmed by several media sources.

DeBlass earned a shot in the UFC after dominating the competition in Ring of Combat. In the feeder promotion, he went 7-0 with finishes over Randy Smith, Tom Velasquez and UFC veteran Sean Salmon. However, the prospect's momentum came to a grinding halt in his UFC debut. Veteran Cyrille Diabate was able to score a majority decision when the two faced off in Sweden earlier this year.

Fukuda dropped his UFC debut to Nick Ring, but viewers almost universally thought that he deserved the nod. Since then, he has split wins and losses with a victory over former WEC champion Steve Cantwell and a defeat at the hands of Costa Philippou. Before coming to the UFC, Fukuda held the Deep middleweight title.

UFC on Fuel TV 6 marks the promotion's first trip to China. Macau is a "special administrative region" of the People's Republic of China.
