Russian fighter Said Nurmagomedov will return to the octagon on August 5 at the UFC tournament in Nashville, and American Kyler Phillips will become his opponent.
The organization of the bantamweight bout was reported by informed sources close to the situation.
Said Nurmagomedov, 31, ended his four-fight streak in March, losing a unanimous decision to Jonathan Martinez.
27-year-old Kyler Phillips, returning to action after a year and a half break, in the previous fight returned his career to a successful track, finishing with a choke Marcelo Rojo. Prior to this, the American lost by a majority of the judges’ votes to Raulian Paive, interrupting a series of three victories in the UFC.
At the moment, none of the fighters is in the top 15 of the organization’s bantamweight division.
