Paul "The Irish Dragon" Felder will take on Dan "Hangman" Hooker after being confirmed for the main event when the UFC returns to Auckland next year.
Hooker, the seventh-ranked lightweight, will continue his push for a title shot against No 6 contender Paul Felder at the UFC Fight Night.
The Auckland fighter, who made his promotional debut on the first UFC event held in New Zealand in 2014, has been on a remarkable run since moving up to lightweight two years ago. He is 7-1 in the division, earning a reputation for entertaining highlight-reel stoppages against Ross Pearson, Jim Miller and James Vick.
Last month, 'The Hangman' stated his case for a five-round main event bout with a dominant unanimous decision win over the highly-rated Al Iaquinta, showcasing his technique and fight IQ.
