Umalatov, 32, went 1-2 with the Las Vegas-based promotion in 2014. He dropped a unanimous verdict to Neil Magny in his Octagon debut before rebounding to outpoint Paulo Thiago in May. In the Russian’s most recent outing, he suffered a split-decision setback against Cathal Pendred at UFC Fight Night “Nelson vs. Story.”
Fabinski, meanwhile, enters his UFC debut riding a four-fight winning streak. The 28-year-old Warsaw native is 11-2 since turning pro in 2011 and has finished eight of his victories by knockout or technical knockout.
