Mairbek Taisumov will attempt to earn his fifth straight win inside the Octagon when he faces Nik Lentz at UFC 203.
Promotion officials announced the lightweight contest on Wednesday. UFC 203 takes place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Sept. 10 and is headlined by a heavyweight title bout between Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem.
Taisumov has dispatched his last four foes in devastating fashion, scoring successive KO/TKO wins over Damir Hadzovic, Alan Patrick Silva Alves, Anthony Christodoulou and Marcin Bandel.
