The UFC’s upcoming event in Buffalo, New York has its first bout, as the promotion’s announced that Gegard Mousasi will take on former middleweight champ, Chris Weidman.

The fight will be part of UFC 210, which will take place at the KeyBank Center on April 8th.

Weidman (13-2) is looking for his first win since May, 2015, as the decorated wrestler has been stopped by Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero in his last two bouts.

Mousasi (41-6-2) is riding a four fight winning streak, and most recently he finished Uriah Hall in the opening round. Hall is the last man to defeat the Strikeforce vet, as he stopped Mousasi in round two back in 2015.

No other fights have been announced yet for UFC 210.
