Nikita Krylov and Ed Herman set to clash in Atlanta
Rising star Nikita Krylov has won his last four fights in impressive fashion and looks for his fifth straight when he takes on UFC veteran Ed Herman at UFC 201 in Atlanta on July 30.
The fight was confirmed by UFC.com on Friday.
Krylov has been downright scary since making the move from heavyweight to light heavyweight, kicking off his win streak with a first-round KO of Cody Donovan before reeling off three consecutive submissions.
Herman, a former middleweight, is making his second light heavyweight UFC appearance following a Performance of the Night bonus winning knockout of Tim Boetsch in January at UFC Fight Night in Boston. He'll be looking to string wins together for the first time since 2012.
UFC 201 is headlined by a welterweight title fight between Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley and also features Demetrious Johnson's eighth title defense.
