Lewis will look to get back into the win column after dropping his last two outings against Tai Tuivasa in February and Sergei Pavlovich in July.

Lewis’ last victory came against Chris Daukaus in December, a vicious one-round, record-setting knockout finish.

Pavlovich is a winner of his two previous bouts, picking up stoppage wins over Greg Hardy in March and Augusto Asakai in August. He enters the first main event of his UFC tenure in his 10th appearance.

With the addition, the Nov. 19 lineup includes:

Derrick Lewis vs. Serghei Spivac
Andre Fialho vs. Muslim Salikhov
Kevin Natividad vs. Ricky Turcios
Vanessa Demopoulos vs. Maria Oliveira
Kyler Phillips vs. Jack Shore
Cody Brundage vs. Rodolfo Vieira
Charles Johnson vs. Zhalgas Zhumagulov
Jennifer Maia vs. Maryna Moroz
Fernie Garcia vs. Brady Hiestand
