Following a six-fight run in the UFC, Gadzhimurad Antigulov has booked his next fight as he faces off with Contender Series veteran Alexander Poppeck at UAE Warriors 22 on Sept. 4.
Promotion officials confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Tuesday.
Antigulov will be making his first appearance since exiting the UFC on a four-fight losing streak after picking up back-to-back wins to start his career with the promotion. The Russian fighter earned finishes over Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Joachim Christensen before suffering a string of losses ending with a TKO defeat to Maxim Grishin, which led to his exit from the UFC.
