Russian prospect Shamil Gamzatov will face a stiff test in just his second UFC fight. Gamzatov (14-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will take on Ovince Saint Preux (24-13 MMA, 12-8 UFC) at UFC Lincoln in a light heavyweight bout. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report from Russian media outlet Vestnik MMA . The event, likely to be UFC on ESPN+ 30, takes place April 25 at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb. Gamzatov picked up a split decision win over Klidson Abreu in his promotional debut at UFC on ESPN+ 21 in his return to 205 pounds.
