A fight between Albert Tumenov and Hector Urbina is the latest bout set for UFC 188 in Mexico City this June.
The UFC announced the bout today, which is expected to take place on the night's preliminary card.
Tumenov, a 23-year-old Russian competitor, has won three straight fights in the UFC after a split decision loss in his UFC debut. After first round knockouts over Anthony Lapsley and Matt Dwyer, Tumenov defeated Nico Musoke by decision in his most recent outing in January.
Urbina made a successful UFC debut in November, submitting Edgar Garcia on the UFC's first-ever trip to Mexico City.
UFC 188 airs live on pay-per-view on June 13, headlined by the heavyweight bout between Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum.
