Mehemmedali Osmanli is reportedly set to face Pavel Andrusca in
\nUFC debut in Riyadh<\/h2>\n

Osmanli (11-2) took on Ilimbek
\nAkylbek Uulu<\/a> in the bantamweight finals of \u201cTUF 34\u201d this past
\nSeptember. He suffered a disqualification loss after landing an
\nillegal knee to Uulu\u2019s head while the latter was grounded. However,
\nthe finish was marred by controversy as Uulu initially appeared to
\nbe defending himself, but went limp as soon as the referee
\nintervened.<\/p>\n

Osmanli has finished nine of his 11 career wins and was on a
\nnine-fight win streak before the disqualification loss on
\n\u201cTUF.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Andrusca (9-0) defeated Nathaniel
\nWood<\/a> via unanimous decision in his short-notice UFC debut in
\nSeptember. While the undefeated Moldovan moved up to featherweight
\nfor his UFC debut, he will drop back down to bantamweight for his
\nsophomore Octagon outing. He\u2019s finished seven of his nine
\nprofessional fights.<\/p>\n
