Kyle
Daukaus will meet Aliaskhab
Khizriev in a middleweight bout at
UFC Fight Night on April 10.
Promotion officials recently announced the pairing
through social media. UFC Fight Night takes place at an as yet to
be confirmed location and is headlined by a 185-pound showdown
between Darren Till
and Marvin
Vettori.
After suffering his first professional defeat to Brendan
Allen at UFC on ESPN 12, Daukaus rebounded in his sophomore
promotional outing, outpointing Dustin
Stoltzfus at UFC 255 this past November. The former Cage Fury
Fighting Championships titlist owns a 10-1 career mark that also
includes a victory on Season 3 of Dana White’s Contender
Series.
Khizriev will make his UFC debut with a 13-0 record. He earned a
contract with the Las Vegas-based promotion by submitting Henrique
Shiguemoto in 50 seconds on the Contender Series this past
September. He owns other notable wins against Rousimar
Palhares and Yasubey
Enomoto under the Fight Nights Global banner.
