A late addition has been made to the UFC 247 lineup.

Two promotional newcomers taking short-notice assignments, LFA alumni Austin Lingo and Youssef Zalal, will square off Feb 8. inside the UFC cage.

Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking. The people asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Lingo (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) possesses serious knockout power for a featherweight. In his most recent outing in August, the 25-year-old Fortis MMA product knocked out Hatley Solo Jr. in 25 seconds at LFA 73.

Harnessing some serious striking abilities of his own, Factory X’s Zalal (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) added a flying-knee knockout to his highlight reel at LFA 79 in November.

UFC 247 takes place Feb. 8 at Toyota Center in Houston. With two title fights atop the bill, the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
