Phillips’ management, Iridium Sports Agency, announced the pairing on social media. UFC Fight Night 221 takes place on March 11 at the Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. The event does not currently have a headliner.

The 40-year-old Assuncao snapped a four-bout skid in his last outing, as he earned a unanimous decision triumph against Victory Henry at UFC Fight Night 212 on Oct. 15. The Ascension MMA representative was a top bantamweight contender earlier in his UFC tenure, notably winning 11 of 12 appearances from August 2011 to July 2018.

Phillips, meanwhile, has been victorious in four of his first five promotional appearances. Most recently, the former Dana White’s Contender Series competitor submitted Marcelo Rojo in the third round of their clash at UFC 271 last February.
