Nover

By FCF Staff

After winning three straight fights, former TUF finalist Phillipe Nover is heading back to the Octagon and will face Yui Chul Nam on May 16th. The featherweight fight will be part of UFC Fight Night 66, which will take place in Manila, Philippines.

Nover (10-5-1) made it to the TUF 8 finals back in 2008, but was defeated by Efrain Escudero. After losing two more bouts Nover exited the UFC. Since then the Team Renzo Gracie member has gone 5-2.

Nam (18-4-1) hasn’t fought since last March, when he worked his way to a split decision win over Kazuki Tokudome, which marked his UFC debut. The South Korean fighter has won five straight fights.

UFC FN 66 will be headlined by a featherweight bout between Frankie Edgar and Urijah Faber.
