UFC 328 has a new addition to the card, as the promotion confirmed another bout on Thursday.

Former Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov is set for his second UFC appearance next month at the Prudential Center.

The Ukrainian, who trains with Oleksandr Usyk, started strong in December by submitting Neil Magny.

He’ll now take on welterweight newcomer Joel Alvarez, who is stepping up for his first fight in the division after previously competing at lightweight.

Alvarez impressed in his debut at 170lbs last October, earning a decision win over Vicente Luque. The winner of this matchup could be looking at a ranked opponent next time out.
