The UFC on Fox Sports 1 card is starting to take shape now after two more fights have been announced for the card. Andy Ogle vs Conor McGregor and Mike Brown vs Akira Corrasani are both set to take place on the event which will be held in Boston on August 17th. McGregor came into the UFC with a ton of hype from both his fights in Cage Warriors but also from his appearances on The MMA Hour. He duly delivered destroying Marcus Brimage in the 1st round in Sweden with precision and power strikes. Next up is a matchup with TUF veteran Andy Ogle.

Ogle should arguably be 2-0 in the UFC after losing a controversial decision to Akira Corrasani in his UFC debut and then beating Josh Grispi at UFC Wembley. He was on the 1st live edition of the ultimate fighter format and will be a good test for the rising McGregor.

The bout will be both men's American debut. Ogle has of course had 3 bouts in the 'TUF' gym but these fights are classed as exhibition bouts and don't count towards a fighters official record.

Also added to the same card is a fight between Akira Corrasani and long time contender Mike Brown. Akira had recently called out McGregor but the UFC matchmakers Joe Silva and Sean Selby have decided to take a different route.

Brown recently retired after injury trouble but since healing up he has gone back on his decision and will now return to the octagon in August. He's on a two fight winning streak and holds two wins over perennial contender Urijah Faber. The first of which won him the WEC featherweight championship.

Whilst Akira is coming off an incredible win of his own over heavily favoured Robbie Peralta in his home country he knows he will be in for a tricky night against the gritty veteran. The night could well serve as a mini tournament as having the winners face off against each other would seem to make sense.
