Former UFC welterweight Phil Rowe has been booked to make his professional boxing debut on the undercard of Duel Arena 1, the August 29 event headlined by Mike Perry vs. Dillon Danis. Rowe, who went 4-5 during his UFC run, will face Javanis Ross, a 6-4 MMA veteran who has also competed in bare-knuckle competition. The Duel Arena 1 card is set to feature a mix of MMA, boxing, and grappling bouts.

Phil Rowe again ran into trouble on the scale at the official UFC Houston weigh-ins ahead of his scheduled welterweight bout with Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani. The veteran came in at 172 pounds, one pound over the non-title limit with allowance, making this the third time he has missed weight for a UFC fight. His opponent successfully weighed in at 170.5 pounds. The repeated weight issues raise questions about Rowe’s cut process and could impact his standing with matchmakers and future bookings in the welterweight division.
