Fares Ziam is set to face Tom Nolan in a lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night 278 on June 6 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
Both fighters confirmed the matchup on social media after an initial report from MMA Odds Breaker.
Ziam enters the event with an 18-4 MMA record and an 8-2 UFC record, coming off a TKO win over Nazim Sadykhov at UFC 323 in December that pushed him into the UFC lightweight rankings.
Nolan holds a 10-1 MMA record and a 4-1 UFC mark, and is riding momentum from a submission victory over Charlie Campbell at UFC Fight Night 260.
Ziam is currently on a six-fight winning streak, while Nolan has won four straight since dropping his UFC debut and is an alum of Dana White's Contender Series.
