An undefeated lightweight prospect will make his first walk to the Octagon in Abu Dhabi, as Magomed Zaynukov is booked to fight fellow unbeaten newcomer Damian Rzepecki at UFC Abu Dhabi on July 25.
Zaynukov enters the bout with an 8-0 record and is coming off a victory on Dana White’s Contender Series last fall. He has not yet made his UFC debut and has fought primarily in Dagestan and the UAE.
Rzepecki, 24, brings a 10-0 record into the matchup and has competed mostly for Fight Exclusive Night in Poland.
UFC Abu Dhabi is scheduled to be headlined by a light heavyweight fight between Magomed Ankalaev and Khalil Rountree Jr. The card also includes Umar Nurmagomedov vs. David Martinez at bantamweight and Thomas Petersen vs. Valter Walker at heavyweight.
