For the second time since it was announced, the duel between the Brazilian Marcos Foot and the Ukrainian Nikita Krylov will have a new date. Initially scheduled for the UFC Berlin card, the clash ended up being postponed to TUF Brasil 4 Final, but problems with the visa system for the United States ended up preventing Pezão from participating in the event. Now, the fight valid for the light heavyweight category will take place on August 23, at UFC Fight Night 74, in Saskatoon (Canada).

At 30, Marcos Foot has a professional record of 13 wins, two losses and one draw. Former TUF Brasil 3 participant, Pezão is undefeated since debuting in the Octagon. First, he beat fellow reality show star Ricky Monstro and then he beat Croatian Igor Pokrajac.

Yes, Nikita Krylov, 23 years old, has a record of 13 wins and four losses. The Ukrainian, who like Pezão has even competed at heavyweight, is coming off two consecutive victories. In his most recent duel, “Al Capone”, as he is known, submitted Stanislav Nedkov with a guillotine at UFC Sweden, in January this year.

UFC Fight Night 74 takes place on August 23, at the SaskTel Centre, in Saskatoon (Canada). In the main fight of the night, the Brazilian Charles of the Bronx will face the Hawaiian Max Holloway, in a fight valid for the featherweight category.
