A flyweight clash between Matt Schnell and Tyson Nam has been rescheduled for a third time, landing on the UFC’s Jan. 20 event.

MMAjunkie.com was first to report the news. Schnell and Nam were initially slated to meet on Sept. 12, but the bout was canceled when Schnell experienced health issues due to his weight cut. The matchup was rebooked for UFC Fight Night 183 on Dec. 19 but was scrapped for undisclosed reasons.

The UFC Fight Night event is expected to take place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi and could reportedly be headlined by a welterweight tilt between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev.
