Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweights Hakeem Dawodu and Kyle Bochniak will collide at UFC 231 in December, the promotion announced on Friday.
Dawodu (8-1-1) was submitted in his Octagon debut in March of this year, but quickly rebounded with a decision victory over Austin Arnett in July.
Bochniak (8-3) has had a tough UFC run thus far, going 2-3 in the promotion with a loss to surging prospect Zabit Magomedsharipov in his last outing at UFC 223.
UFC 231 takes place on Dec. 8 in Toronto and features a featherweight title fight between champion Max Holloway and No. 1 contender Brian Ortega in the main event.
