UFC officials have confirmed a rumored bout between Cody Garbrandt and Takeya Mizugaki for UFC 202, according to ESPN's Brett Okamoto.

Garbrandt is ranked No. 7 in the official bantamweight rankings. He burst into the top 10 with a first-round knockout of Thomas Almeida in May, his ninth win in as many professional appearances.

Mizugaki is a veteran who sits just outside the top 10 at No. 11. His UFC record stands at 8-4 after a unanimous decision win against George Roop in September.

UFC 202 takes place Aug. 20 in Las Vegas. It's headlined by a welterweight rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.
