Undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov to face Tony Ferguson at UFC on FOX 19

Khabib Nurmagomedov will square off against Tony Ferguson in a lightweight fight at UFC on FOX 19 on April 16, UFC officials confirmed Saturday.

The contest will serve as the main event of the evening.

Nurmagomedov enters the fight with a perfect 22-0 record, with his last victory coming against former champion Rafael dos Anjos in April 2014, via unanimous decision. The 27-year-old was battling through a recurring knee injury and rescheduled multiple bouts as result.

Both fighters were slated to fight during the The Ultimate Fighter 22 finale, but Nurmagomedov pulled out due to injury. Ferguson defeated Edson Barboza during the event via submission and captured Performance of the Night honors.

Ferguson sports a 20-3 record and has won his last seven fights.

Rashad Evans and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will fight during the same event, while Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida are expected to square off in a rematch of their 2013 bout The Dragon won via split decision.
