WSOF bantamweight champion Marlos Moraes (13-4-1) looks to defend his belt for the first time when he meets undefeated contender Josh Hill (10-0) at WSOF 18.

WSOF official today announced the card, which takes place on Thursday, Feb. 12, at Edmonton Expo Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

“This is an incredible matchup between two of the world’s top 135-pound fighters that we have been looking to put together for the last several months and, now that it is finally here, we will see who the superior fighter is on Feb. 13,” WSOF President Ray Sefo stated.

The championship fight headlines a four-fight main card that airs live on NBCSN and also includes featherweights Antonio Carvalho (15-6) vs. Chris Gruetzemacher (12-1), welterweight Shane Campbell (10-2) vs. Brandt Dewsbery (13-3) and Hakeem Dawodu (3-0) vs. Tristan Johnson (9-5).

Moraes and Hill were originally supposed to meet this past September at WSOF 13. However, Hill was forced to withdraw from the contest and was replaced by Cody Bollinger, who suffered a submission loss to Moraes in a catchweight, non-title affair.

Moraes is currently ranked No. 13 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA bantamweight rankings and has quickly established himself as one of WSOF’s most promising talents. The 26-year-old Brazilian made his promotional debut at the company’s inaugural event and has already built a 6-0 record in the company’s decagon.

Meanwhile, Canada’s Hill will be looking to stay unbeaten. He returned to action in June after nearly two years on the sidelines and scored a first-round knockout of Mike Adams at WSOF Canada’s second event. That was enough to get him a shot at the red-hot Moraes, though it comes five months after he originally hoped.

Preliminary bouts are expected to be announced shortly.

The WSOF 18 lineup currently includes:

Marlon Moraes vs. Josh Hill Antonio Carvalho vs. Chris Gruetzemacher Shane Campbell vs. Brandt Dewsbery Hakeem Dawodu vs. Tristan Johnson
