A lightweight bout between Michael Johnson (16-8 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and Beneil Dariush (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) is the latest addition to August’s UFC Fight Night 73 lineup.

UFC officials today announced the fight via FOXSports.com.

UFC Fight Night 73 takes place Aug. 8 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The card is expected to air on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Johnson vs. Dariush, which features the No. 10- and No. 15-ranked fighters in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, will likely be part of the main card.

Johnson, a 29-year-old who first joined the UFC after a runner-up finish on “The Ultimate Fighter 12,” has moved into title contention with his current four-fight winning streak. The victories have come over a string of notables and proven vets: Edson Barboza, Melvin Guillard, Gleison Tibau and Joe Lauzon.

Dariush has a four-fight winning streak of his own over, which included a recent decision win over Jim Miller on short notice and a 35-day turnaround. The 26-year-old Iranian fighter’s only career loss came via first-round TKO to Ramsey Nijem, but he’s successfully rallied for his current winning streak, which also included a “Performance of the Night” victory over Daron Cruickshank back in March.

The latest UFC Fight Night 73 lineup includes:

Ovince Saint Preux vs. Glover Teixeira Beneil Dariush vs. Michael Johnson Jared Cannonier vs. Jonathan Wilson Roman Salazar vs. Marlon Vera Timothy Johnson vs. Jared Rosholt
