Asked if he will be seeing action in the said event, Dodson could only say, “I hope so.”

Last year’s UFC Fight Night Manila saw the emotional retirement of Mark Munoz after he beat Luke Barnatt by unanimous decision.

The main event also saw Frankie Edgar clobber Urijah Faber in their featherweight duel.
