Nathan Coy vs. Zak Cummings added to UFC on FOX 24 in Kansas City

The lineup for the UFC’s April return to network television has a new bout.

Welterweights Nathan Coy (15-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Zak Cummings (20-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) are set for UFC on FOX 24, which marks the organization’s Kansas City debut. UFC officials announced the fight via kansascity.com.

UFC on FOX 24 takes place April 15 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Coy, a former Bellator and Strikeforce fighter, made his UFC debut in December 2015 and suffered a submission loss to Danny Roberts. However, in his most recent bout, the 38-year-old former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler fought in February 2016 and halted a two-fight skid with a unanimous-decision victory over Jonavin Webb.

Cummings, a 10-year pro who fights out of Kansas City, recently submitted Alexander Yakovlev (though Cummings missed weight for the fight) to move to 3-1 over his past four fights. The 32-year-old has suffered UFC losses to Gunnar Nelson and Santiago Ponzinibbi; a victory over Coy would be one of his biggest under the UFC banner.

The latest UFC on FOX 24 card includes:

• Rose Namajunas vs. Michelle Waterson
• Tim Elliott vs. Louis Smolka
• Devin Clark vs. Jake Collier
• Andrew Sanchez vs. Anthony Smith
