Two light-heavyweight contenders will clash in September during the UFC’s return to Germany.

Ryan Bader (20-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) and Ilir Latifi (12-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) are slated for the event, officials today announced.

The UFC Fight Night event takes place Sept. 3 at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. The entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass.

Bader is No. 6 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings. Latifi isn’t currently ranked but resides just outside the top 15.

Bader was ever so close to earning a long-awaited title shot with a recent five-fight winning streak that included wins over Rashad Evans, Phil Davis and Ovince Saint Preux. However, in his most recent bout, he suffered an 86-second knockout loss to Anthony Johnson. The 32-year-old, who joined the UFC after a standout wrestling career at Arizona State and winning “The Ultimate Fighter 8,” now needs another quality win to get back on track.

He gets a worthy opponent in Latifi, a 32-year-old Swedish fighter who’s earned three straight wins (including knockouts of Hans Stringer and Sean O’Connell in less than a minute each) since a TKO defeat to Jan Błachowicz in late 2014. In his most recent bout, Latifi used a well-rounded effort to score a decision victory over tough Gian Villante.

The latest UFC Fight Night in Hamburg lineup now includes:

Andrei Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett

Ryan Bader vs. Ilir Latifi
