A light heavyweight bout that was scheduled to take place at UFC Fight Night 70 has been rescheduled for UFC Fight Night 74 as Nikita Krylov will meet Marcos Rogerio de Lima.
The fight booking was announced by the UFC on late Thursday evening.
UFC Fight Night 74 will come from the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon on August 23 and will be headlined by a featherweight bout as Max Holloway meets Charles Oliveria.
Krylov (18-4) dropped down to the light heavyweight division last year and after losing his 205 pound debut to Ovince St. Preux, he has won back to back fights. Both of those wins have come by stoppage and his most recent win came in January against Stanislav Nedkov. Lima (13-2-1) made his UFC debut last year and has won both of his fights in the promotion. He is unbeaten in his last six fights and both of his wins in the UFC have come by TKO/KO in the first round.
