The UFC has added a featherweight matchup to their card taking place in Moncton, Canada on October 27th, as Artem Lobov will fight Zubaira Tukhugov.
Last week, a report surfaced that Lobov and Tukhugov would meet at UFC 229 on October 6th. However, the UFC confirmed the matchup as official for Moncton through social media after Red Fury MMA reported the fight was in the works for the event.
Lobov (13-14-1) was supposed to fight back at UFC 223 in April, but the Russian was pulled from the card after his involvement in an attack on a bus with his teammate Conor McGregor just a few days prior to the event.
