[autotag]Nik Lentz[/autotag] (30-10-1 MMA, 14-7-1 UFC) will take on [autotag]Nad Narimani[/autotag] (12-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 24, UFC officials announced Friday morning.
UFC on ESPN+ 24 takes place Jan. 25 at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C. The card streams on ESPN+.
Lentz was unsuccessful against Charles Oliveira once again at UFC on ESPN+ 10, where he suffered a second-round TKO loss in their trilogy bout. That snapped his two-fight win streak, as prior to that, Lentz had scored back-to-back wins over Gray Maynard and Scott Holtzman.
After two straight wins over Khalid Taha and Anderson dos Santos, Narimani was defeated by Mike Grundy at UFC London, his first promotional loss. The former Cage Warriors featherweight champion will look to get back to the win column, when he takes on experienced veteran Lentz.
