Featherweights Zubaira Tukhugov and Renato Carneiro have agreed to square off this May at UFC 198, officials announced.
The event takes place May 14 from the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil. The main event pits Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic for the UFC heavyweight title.
Tukhugov (18-3) is a perfect 3-0 since signing with the UFC. The 25-year-old Chechen-born Russian scored a victory over Phillipe Nover to close out 2015.
Carneiro (9-0-1) is on his second stint with the promotion, as he earned a victory over Tom Niinimaki back in 2014. The 26-year-old holds five career submission wins to his credit.
Along with the title fight, Vitor Belfort faces Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Matt Brown meets Demian Maia that night.
