The Las Vegas-based promotion recently confirmed the pairing on social media. The bout was initially supposed to take place at UFC Vegas 106 on May 17, but it was scrapped on the day of the event. Bellato later revealed that herpes was the cause of the cancellation.
UFC Atlanta — also known as UFC on ESPN 69 — takes place at State Farm Arena and is headlined by a welterweight tilt pitting Kamaru Usman against Joaquin Buckley.
Craig is returning to 205 pounds after a brief stint at middleweight. He enters the matchup with Bellato on a three-bout skid that has seen him fall to Bo Nickal, Caio Borralho and Brendan Allen in successive outings.
Bellato is unbeaten in his last five professional appearances, though his last fight against Jimmy Crute at UFC 312 resulted in a majority draw. The 29-year-old Brazilian kicked off his promotional tenure with a second-round stoppage of Ihor Potieira.
