Albert Tumenov will meet Leon Edwards in a welterweight bout at UFC 204 in Manchester, England, on Oct. 8.
Promotion officials recently announced the pairing. UFC 204 takes place at Manchester Arena and is headlined by a middleweight title bout pitting Michael Bisping against Dan Henderson. The evening’s main card also includes a showdown between Gegard Mousasi and Vitor Belfort.
Tumenov had a five-fight Octagon winning streak snapped at UFC Fight Night “Overeem vs. Arlovski,” where he was submitted in the second round by Gunnar Nelson.
