As one of the more shallow divisions in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today, the Light Heavyweight faction desperately needs fresh faces to call contenders.
Luckily, one such youngster exists in the form of Russian grappling expert Nikita Krylov. The 24-year-old finisher will make his return to the cage against veteran and former Middleweight mainstay Ed Herman at UFC 201 on July from Atlanta, Georgia.
UFC announced the 205-pound tilt earlier today (Fri., June 3, 2016).
Krylov (20-4) has amassed a 4-1 record since moving down from Heavyweight back in 2014.
