A fight between Nikita Krylov and Marcos Rogerio de Lima, originally scheduled for last week's UFC Fight Night 70 event, will now take place at UFC Fight Night 74 next month.
The UFC announced the shift on Thursday.
The bout was one of many forced off of last weekend's Florida event due to visa issues, and will now simply happen two months later in Canada.
Krylov has stopped three of his last four opponents following a bit of an embarrassing debut against Soa Palelei. Though the other fight in that stretch was another not very good loss by von flue choke to Ovince St. Preux, he's entering this card with consecutive victories.
De Lima has spent a total of 2:19 in the Octagon through two fights, stopping both Richardson Moreira and Igor Pokrajac in the first round.
UFC Fight Night 74 hits Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on August 23, headlined by the featherweight bout between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira.
