UFC Fight Night 53 takes place Oct. 4 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. The event streams on UFC Fight Pass.

Pendred, a former Cage Warriors champ who was a semifinalist on “The Ultimate Fighter 19,” recently made his official UFC debut and posted a second-round submission victory over Mike King in a middleweight bout at UFC Fight Night 46. The victory, which moved the 26-year-old Irishman to 8-0-1 over his past nine fights, earned Pendred a $50,000 fight-night bonus.

He now meets Umalatov, a 31-year-old Russian who suffered a UFC-debut loss to Neil Magny. However, he rebounded earlier this year and earned a decision victory over UFC vet Paulo Thiago at the TUF Brazil 3 Finale.
