A heavyweight matchup pitting Andrei Arlovski against Tanner Boser is in the works for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Oct. 3.

Multiple outlets confirmed the booking following an initial report from TSN. A location for the event has not been announced, but it will be headlined by a rescheduled tilt between Holly Holm and Irene Aldana. The card is also expected to include a women’s bantamweight showdown between Germaine de Randamie and Julianna Pena.

A former UFC heavyweight champion, Arlovski has been victorious in two of his last three Octagon appearances. Most recently, the 41-year-old Belarusian captured a unanimous verdict against former PFL champ Philipe Lins at UFC Fight Night 171 on May 13.

Boser, meanwhile, has made the most of his summer, scoring stoppages of Lins and Raphael Pessoa in a little less than one month’s time between June and July. “The Bulldozer” has won three of four promotional outings overall and is 19-6-1 over the course of a professional career that began in 2012.
