No rest for the weary. Al Iaquinta (pictured), just two days removed from TKO’ing Joe Lauzon at UFC 183, has agreed to co-headline UFC Fight Night 63 against Jorge Masvidal.
UFC officials announced the matchup Monday.
Iaquinta has rattled off wins in six of his last seven outings, including three straight. “The Ultimate Fighter 15” winner is quickly making his way up the lightweight ladder.

Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia hosts the April 4 event. Fox Sports 1 will broadcast the main card live.
