A light heavyweight bout between Volkan Oezdemir and Dominick Reyes is the latest addition to March’s UFC on ESPN+ 5 lineup.

MMAjunkie verified that verbal agreements are in place for the matchup between Oezdemir (15-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and Reyes (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) with multiple people close to the situation following an initial report from bjpenn.com. The people requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement.

UFC on ESPN+ 5 takes place March 16 at The O2 in London. The main card streams on ESPN+.

Oezdemir, No. 5 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light heavyweight rankings, will attempt to break a two-fight skid at the event. After coming on to the UFC scene with three massive wins, “No Time” got a title shot against then-champ Daniel Cormier at UFC 220 in January. He would succumb to a second-round TKO to snap his 10-fight winning streak. He returned to action at UFC Fight Night 138 in October and drop a third-round submission to Anthony Smith, putting him on a losing skid for the first time in his career.

No. 9-ranked Reyes will return to the octagon in hopes of extending his undefeated record. “The Devastator” has won all four of his UFC appearances so far, with his unanimous decision victory against Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 229 in October representing his most significant win to date.

The latest UFC on ESPN+ 5 lineup now includes:

Volkan Oezdemir vs. Dominick Reyes

Danny Roberts vs. Claudio Silva

Priscila Cachoeira vs. Molly McCann

Jack Marshman vs. John Phillips

Tom Breese vs. TBA

Saparbeg Safarov vs. Gokhan Saki
