Nikita Krylov vs. Misha Cirkunov slated for UFC 206

A light heavyweight bout between two of the division's rising contenders is the latest match-up added to UFC 206, as Nikita Krylov and Misha Cirkunov have agreed to meet on the Dec. 10 card. MMA Fighting confirmed the booking Thursday following an initial report by TSN.

Krylov (21-4) has won five straight UFC fights since 2014, finishing each fight in less than nine minutes. His current run kicked off with a first-round TKO over Cody Donovan, then stretched to include a trio of submissions over Stanislav Nedkov, Marcos Rogerio de Lima, and Francimar Barroso.
