The Ultimate Fighting Championship has announced that its next event in Berlin will feature a featherweight bout between Niklas Backstrom and Noad Lahat. The fight will be part of UFC Fight Night 69, which will take place on June 20th.

Backstrom (8-1) is looking to get back on track, after suffering his first pro defeat in October, when he was knocked out by Mike Wilkinson. The Swedish fighter has gone 1-1 in the UFC to date.

Lahat (8-1), meanwhile, hasn’t fought since July when he earned a unanimous decision win over Steven Siler. The American was KO’d by Godofredo Castro before that, which marked Lahat’s UFC debut.

UFC FN 69 will feature a light-heavyweight bout between Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira in the main event.
