The lineup for next month’s UFC on FOX 19 event is now official, and eight bouts will be part of the night’s network broadcast. The event takes place April 16 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. The event airs on FOX following five early prelims on MMAjunkie. A new lightweight title challenger will likely be determined in the headliner when Tony Ferguson (20-3 MMA, 10-1 UFC), who’s won seven straight fights, takes on undefeated fellow contender Khabib Nurmagomedov (22-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who hasn’t fought since his April 2014 victory over now-champ Rafael dos Anjos in due to injuries. Nurmagomedov is No.
