Back in October, before UFC 308, Dorobshokh Nabotov, an undefeated fighter from Tajikistan, decided to shoot his shot at Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana Whiteduring the UFC 308 pre-fight press conferenceand ask for a UFC contract. He didn't get the contract, but White revealed Nabotov will compete in The Korean Zombie's new Z-Fight Night (ZFN) promotion, which will air on UFC Fight Pass.

Today (Mon., Nov. 25, 2024), Nabotov's fight was announced on Instagram. The undefeated Lightweight fighter will take on top Brazilian prospect Matheus Camilo on Dec. 14, 2024, inside KINTEX Exhibition Hall 7A in Goyang, South Korea.

This will be ZFN's second event, and it will host UFC head honcho as he films 'Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight.'

Nabotov, 25, boasts an 8-0 record with four first-round finishes. He has two wins inside Absolute Championship Akhmat (ACA), a very good regional promotion, and defeated Murad Bilarov in his last outing via majority decision in Nov. 2023.

Camilo, 23, has an 8-2 record and is riding a five-fight win streak with four finishes. He defeated Jhonasky Sojo via unanimous decision two months ago in the main event of Tuff-N-Uff 139.

While Nabotov made many headlines during UFC 308 fight week, Camilo is looking to steal all of the spotlight and snag the UFC contract looming over the fight.
