Robbie Lawler's next fight is set.

The former UFC welterweight champion will face Bryan Barberena at UFC 276 on July 2 in Las Vegas. Barberena announced the matchup Tuesday on social media.

Lawler is coming off a TKO win over Nick Diaz at UFC 266 last September, which snapped a four-fight skid. The victory was Lawler's first since a 2017 decision over Donald Cerrone.

Barberena is riding a two-fight winning streak, most recently defeating veteran welterweight Matt Brown in a back-and-forth battle at a UFC Fight Night card in March.

UFC 276 doesn't yet have a confirmed main event.
