Krzysztof Jotko will look to extend his winning streak to three when he takes on undefeated prospect Edmen Shahbazyan at UFC 244. MMA Junkie was first to report the news.

Jotko, who is currently ranked 15th in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's middleweight rankings is coming off of a split decision win over Marc-Andre Barriault at UFC 240. Before that, the 30-year-old beat Alen Amedovski by decision in April. The win over Amedvoski snapped the Polish fighter's three-fight losing streak which included a split decision loss to David Branch, and TKO losses to Uriah Hall and Brad Tavares. The 30-year-old is currently 8-4 in the UFC.

Shahbazyan, meanwhile, is 10-0 and will fight the first ranked fighter of his early career. He is just 21 and is coming off a first-round submission win over Jack Marshman at UFC 239. Before that, he knocked out Charles Byrd in just 38 seconds at UFC 235, and in his UFC debut got past Darren Stewart by split decision.

UFC 244 goes down on Nov. 2 from Madison Square Garden and does not currently have a main event.
