Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight contender Ryan Bader will try to get back on his horse — against a guy on a horse — when he fights Ilir Latifi at the upcoming UFC “Fight Night” event inside Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany, on Sept. 3, 2016.

Broadcast plans have yet to be revealed.
Bader (20-5) had his bell rung by Anthony Johnson at the UFC on FOX 18 event last January. Falling to “Rumble” cost him a five-fight winning streak, as well as a place among the top 205-pound title contenders. Latifi (12-4, 1 NC), meanwhile, captured three straight with two thunderous knockouts.
Fun fight … who ya’ got?
No other fights have been announced for the promotion’s debut in Hamburg; however, you can expect that to change sooner, rather than later.
