Sydney’s fighting brothers Suman and Ashkan Mokhtarian are set to compete alongside each other for the first time in the UFC.

Australian UFC officials have confirmed that Suman, 26, will make his UFC debut in Adelaide next month -- against rising American bantamweight Sodiq Yusuff.

The announcement means the Australian Top Team product will appear on the December 2 card alongside brother Ashkan, who already boasts two appearances inside the Octagon.

Undefeated in eight professional fights, six of which have come via submission, Suman has been pushing hard to get a spot on what will be one of two Australian cards between now and February.

Yet the Sydneysider faces a tough test against Yusuff.

Early this year, Yusuff -- who is 7-1 as a professional -- impressed on Dana White’s Contender Series, beating Mike Davis by decision to earn himself a UFC contract.
