The UFC has announced four new bouts for its upcoming UFC Fight Night event in Rotterdam on Sept. 2.
UFC lightweight prospect Rustam Khabilov is scheduled to fight Desmond Green.
Khabilov had quite a year in 2016. He won all four of his UFC fights, but he has yet to compete in 2017.
Green also had a good year in 2016. He also won all four of his fights, but none of them took place in the UFC. Green made his UFC debut back in April. He earned a split-decision win over Josh Emmett.
The UFC also announced three fights in the light heavyweight division that will take place in Rotterdam.
Marcos Rogério de Lima will fight Saparbek Safarov, Francimar Barroso will do battle against Aleksandar Rakić, and Bojan Mihajlovic will compete against Abdul-Kerim Edilov.
This event will be headlined by a pivotal battle in the heavyweight division as former Bellator Heavyweight Champion Alexander Volkov fights Stefan Struve.
