Jon Madsen vs. Mostapha Al Turk heavyweight fight signed for UFC 112

After visa issues prevented UFC heavyweight and British fighter Mostapha Al Turk (6-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC) from making a fight with Rolles Gracie this past weekend at UFC 109, the promotion has booked him for an international event.

Al Turk is set to face “The Ultimate Fighter 10″ contestant John Madsen (3-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at UFC 112, and sources close to the fighters told MMAjunkie.com that bout agreements have been signed.

UFC 112 takes place April 10 at Concert Arena in Abu Dhabi, and it marks the promotion’s first trip to the Middle East and a component of a new deal with U.A.E.-based event company Flash Entertainment.
