According to a press release from the UFC today, Alloway (13-4) will appear alongside fellow Aussie fighter ROBERT WHITTAKER  on the UFC on FOX SPORTS 1: Condit v Kampmann II card later this year; "Ultimate Fighter veterans Benny ‘Blanco’ Alloway and Zak Cummings have verbally agreed to fight August 28 in Indianapolis."

Benny "Blanco" was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes series in 2012, where he suffered a quarter final, split decision defeat to the UK's Brad Scott. Scott went on to compete in the competition finale, but came up short against eventual winner Whittaker in December of last year.

Alloway has since gone 1-1 in the UFC and will now meet TUF 17 combatant Zak Cummings in a battle of former Ultimate Fighter competitors.

Cummings (15-3), a MMA submission specialist was placed under the tutelage of coach Chael Sonnen and was expected to do well in the competition.

During the first elimination round, Cummings was matched up against New Zealand born Dylan Andrews, where he suffered a decision defeat.


Cummings has now been given another crack at the big time, earning a promotional debut in the UFC against Alloway in August.  


Also on the card, Robert Whittaker will return to the Octagon following his TKO victory over Colton Smith at UFC 160, to meet former middleweight Court McGee. The event will be headlined by welterweights Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann, with Condit looking to avenge his 2009 loss to "The Hitman".
