The UFC has booked Artem Lobov vs. Alex Caceres and Calvin Kattar vs. Renato Moicano on  April 7 in Brooklyn, N.Y., MMA Fighting has learned. After his recent losses to Cub Swanson and Andre Fili, Lobov (13-14-1, 1 NC) looks to break a two fight win streak , while Caceres (13-11, 1 NC) looks to rebound from his recent loss to Guan Wang. The fight will be contested at 145 pounds.

In the featherweight bout, Calvin Kattar (18-2) enters the cage with a 10-fight winning streak, including UFC wins over Andre Fili, via decision, and a third-round finish against Shane Burgos earlier this year.
Moicano (11-1-1) is coming off his first loss as a fighter against Brian Ortega, losing via submission in July. Prior to this defeat, the Brazilian talent was 3-0 in the UFC with wins over Tom Niinimaki, Zubaira Tukhugov and Jeremy Stephens.

UFC 223 will be headlined by Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight title, while Rose Namajunas defends her strawweight gold in a rematch with Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the co-main event.
