A pair of UFC featherweights will collide in August.
On Monday, the UFC announced that Nate Landwehr will fight Zubaira Tukhugov on August 6 at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Hill.
Landwehr (15-4) got back in the win column in his last outing and most likely saved his UFC career. At UFC Fight Night: Ladd vs. Dumont picked up his first submission win against Ludovit Klein via anaconda choke. The always exciting Landwehr has alternated wins and losses so far in his UFC career.
Like his opponent, Tukhugov (20-5-1) got back in the win in his last outing. At UFC 267 on ‘Fight Island,’ the Russian defeated Ricardo Ramos via unanimous decision. Before UFC 267, Tukhugov lost a split decision to Hakeem Dawodu and fought to a draw with Lerone Murphy.
