Russian fighter Zubaira Tukhugov will make his debut in the lightweight division on February 12 at UFC 284 in Perth, and Spaniard Yoel Alvarez will become his opponent.
The organization of the fight was reported by informed sources close to the situation.
31-year-old Zubaira Tukhugov has been playing in the UFC since 2014, and during this time he fought eight fights in the organization’s featherweight division, winning five, suffering two losses, and one more fight with his participation ended in a draw. In October of this year, the Russian failed to cope with the weight race and dropped out of the fight against Lucas Almeida at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi, after which he announced a change in weight category.
29-year-old Yoel Alvarez ended his own streak of four early victories in February this year, losing by TKO in the second round to Arman Tsarukyan.
