Cody Stamann will meet Brazilian prospect Luan Lacerda in Brazil at UFC 283.
Lacerda (12-1) makes his first walk to the eight-sided cage after going 6-0 in Shooto Brazil including a title win; he was also 2-0 under the LFA banner. The 29-year-old Nova União representative is unbeaten since 2014.
Stamann (20-5-1) snapped a three-fight losing skid this past June by knocking out veteran Eddie Wineland in just 59 seconds.
Stamann holds a UFC record of 6-4-1 with wins over the likes of Bryan Caraway and Brian Kelleher. His setbacks came against top-ranked Merab Dvalishvili and current 135-pound king Aljamain Sterling.
UFC 283 airs live on pay-per-view and features a title unification bout between undisputed champ Deiveson Figueiredo and interim titleholder Brandon Moreno in their fourth bout.
