Thiago Moises and Jalin Turner will collide in a lightweight showdown in Las Vegas, NV, on Sept. 5, multiple sources told MMA Fighting. The UFC Fight Night show will take place at the UFC Apex and feature Alistair Overeem vs. Augusto Sakai in the main event.
Combate first reported the matchup.
Moises (13-4) is coming off the biggest win of his MMA career, a second-round submission over longtime octagon veteran Michael Johnson in May.
The former RFA lightweight champion went 2-2 in his first four UFC bouts, with a win over Kurt Holobaugh sandwiched between decision defeats to Damir Ismagulov and Beneil Dariush.
