Former CES MMA bantamweight champion Ewell made his victorious Octagon debut in September at UFC Fight Night 137 when he defeated former champion Renan Barao as a significant underdog.
Facing Ewell will be former two-time defending Cage Warriors Fighting Championship bantamweight champion Wood, who made his own successful UFC 2018 debut when he tapped Jonny Eduardo with a brabo choke at UFC Fight Night 131 in June.
UFC 232 will take place on Dec. 29 and will be headlined by a light heavyweight interim title fight between former divisional kingpin Jon Jones and two-time title challenger Alexander Gustafsson in a rematch of one of the greatest fights in UFC history. The event will also feature bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes vying for her second belt when she goes up in weight to face featherweight queen Cristiane Justino.
