Russian heavyweight Alexey Oleinik will return to the Octagon for the first time since November 2014 when he faces Daniel Omielanczuk at UFC Fight Night South Dakota.
The promotion announced the pairing on Tuesday. Additionally, Rani Yahya will square off against Matthew Lopez in a bantamweight tilt. UFC Fight Night takes place on July 13 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, S.D., and is headlined by a lightweight showdown between Tony Ferguson and Michael Chiesa.
Oleinik, 38, joined the UFC in 2014 and scored first-round stoppages of Anthony Hamilton and Jared Rosholt in his first two promotional appearances.
