Featherweight contenders, Nik Lentz (25-6-2) and Thiago Tavares (19-5-1) fought as lightweights back in 2010, their first contest together resulted in a majority draw, but the pair are now set to go at it once more at UFN 60, February 14th.

Winner of four of his last five, Lentz has been calling for big fights as he edges closer to the top of the ladder, however his latest decision victory over Manny Gamburyan hasn't quite pushed him as high as he might of wanted, despite being ranked #9 in the division.

His opponent, Tavares only recently dropped down to the 145lb division, however he made an instant impact with a first-round submission victory over Robbie Peralta, earning himself a performance of the night bonus.

With the addition of Lentz vs. Tavares, UFN Broomfield now includes:

Matt Brown vs. Tarec Saffiedine

Max Holloway vs. Cole Miller

Zach Makovsky vs. Tim Elliot

Ray Borg vs. Chris Kelades

Nik Lentz vs. Thiago Tavares
