A bantamweight bout between Iuri Alcantara and Vaughan Lee is the latest addition to the UFC's Fight Night event in Berlin on May 31.
The organization announced the bout today, which will take place on the UFC Fight Pass digital network in the U.S.
The 33-year-old Alcantara walked away with a split decision over Wilson Reis in his most recent bout, bouncing back from a loss to Urijah Faber last summer at UFC Fight Night 26. He's 2-1 with one no contest now in four fights in the bantamweight division.
England's Vaughan Lee has split six appearances in the Octagon thus far, alternating wins and losses throughout. His three losses have come against highly ranked talent in Chris Cariaso, T.J. Dillashaw, and Raphael Assuncao, while he's scored wins over "Kid" Yamamoto, Motonobu Tezuka, and Nam Phan.
The UFC Fight Night event in Berlin is one of two UFC events on May 31, and will be headlined by a middleweight bout between Gegard Mousasi and Mark Munoz.
