Poberezhets will make his UFC debut in a heavyweight matchup against Mark Godbeer at UFC London on March 17 at the O2 Arena,
MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Poberezhets will fight for the first time under the UFC banner after accumulating a 24-5-1 (1 NC) record primarily through Ukraine-based promotions. His knockout rate (14 KO/TKOs in 24 wins) is respectable, but that is tough to gauge given the caliber of his opponents. Though Godbeer is far from an elite heavyweight, this will be an opportunity for the 32-year-old Poberezhets to show he can hang with UFC talent.
