Rani Yahya will square off against Ricky Simon in a bantamweight tilt at UFC 234.
Brazilian outlet Combate was first to report the booking. UFC 234 takes place in Melbourne on Feb. 9 and is headlined by a middleweight championship clash pitting Robert Whittaker against Kelvin Gastelum.
The 34-year-old Yahya has been victorious in seven of his last eight promotional appearances. Most recently, the Constrictor Team product tapped Luke Sanders with a heel hook 1:31 into the opening stanza of their bout at UFC Fight Night 135.
