UFC Fight Night 252 adds Andre Fili vs. Melquizael Costa

The UFC's return to Seattle is less than one month away, but the lineup is still filling out.

Veteran featherweight Andre Fili will battle Melquizael Costa in the most recent addition to UFC Fight Night 252 on Feb. 22 at Climate Pledge Arena.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the matchup but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Born in Federal Way, Wash., Fili (24-11 MMA, 12-10 UFC) most recently competed in June when he defeated Cub Swanson by split decision. The win moved him to 3-2 in his most recent five.

Costa (21-7 MMA, 2-2 UFC) looks to build on momentum that began when he defeated Shayilan Nuerdanbieke by rear-naked choke in June. Costa is 2-1 in his most recent three.

With the addition, the UFC Fight Night 252 lineup includes:

• Henry Cejudo vs. Song Yadong
