UFC Fight Night 87: Gunnar Nelson vs Albert Tumenov set for May 8 in Rotterdam

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) added an interesting welterweight contest for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 87: "Overeem vs. Arlovski" mixed martial arts (MMA) event on Sun., May 8, 2016, taking place inside Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands, live on FOX Sports 1.

Gunnar Nelson vs. Albert Tumenov.

Nelson (14-2-1) will try to shake off last December's lopsided loss to Demian Maia, the second across a span of three fights. "Gunni" coughed up a split decision to Rick Story in late 2014 before rebounding with a submission win over Brandon Thatch at UFC 189.

Clinging to that last spot is Tumenov (17-2), the winner of five straight after coming up short in his Octagon debut.
