Gallery Paul Felder def. James Vick at UFC on ESPN 1: Best photos view 10 images

Paul Felder will get a chance to avenge a key loss in his career when he runs it back with Edson Barboza in September at UFC 242.

A lightweight rematch between Barboza (20-7 MMA, 14-7 UFC) and Felder (16-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) is in the works for UFC 242, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Junkie on Thursday. The people requested anonymity because bout agreements have not been signed and the UFC has yet to make an official announcement.

UFC 242 takes place Sept. 7 at The Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.

Barboza, No. 8 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA lightweight rankings, is coming off a first-round knockout loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC on ESPN 2 in March. The Brazilian is just 1-3 in his past four fights, but all of his losses in that stretch have come to the top names in the division.

A chance to get back on track will come against No. 11 Felder, who Barboza beat by unanimous decision at UFC on FOX 16 in July 2015. Felder has won four of his past five fights and is coming off a win over James Vick at UFC on ESPN 1 in February that saw him suffer a collapsed lung in the fight yet somehow still emerge victorious.

With the addition to the card, UFC 242 now includes:

Champ Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Interim champ Dustin Poirier

Shamil Abdurakhimov vs. Curtis Blaydes

Islam Makhachev vs. Davi Ramos

Diego Ferreira vs. Mairbek Taisumov

Bruno Silva vs. Khalid Taha

Muslim Salikhov vs. Nordine Taleb

Omari Akhmedov vs. Zak Cummings
