UFC officials haven’t made a formal announcement, but if true, it’d be the card’s 13th fight.

UFC Fight Night 130 takes place May 27 at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England, and airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. However, the full fight card and bout order haven’t been finalized.

Made, a 27-year-old former EFC champion, signed with the UFC earlier this year on the strength of a four-fight winning streak that includes four stoppages. Fight fans may remember him from a recent bout in which his opponent failed miserably at a takedown during their weigh-in face-off.

The Fight Fit Militia team member and seven-year pro could help the UFC make inroads in Africa, a continent with few roster representatives outside of heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou.

He gets a tough test in his promotional debut when he meets Teymur, a 28-year-old Swedish fighter who was a quarterfinalist on “The Ultimate Fighter 22.” Since his time on the reality show, he’s won four straight UFC fights, which included a “Fight of the Night” win over Lando Vannata and a recent decision victory over previously unbeaten Drakkar Klose.

The latest UFC Fight Night 130 card includes:

• Stephen Thompson vs. Darren Till
• Neil Magny vs. Gunnar Nelson
• Arnold Allen vs. Mads Burnell
• Manny Bermudez vs. Davey Grant
• Tom Breese vs. Daniel Kelly
• Claudio Henrique da Silva vs. Nordine Taleb
• Trevor Smith vs. Elias Theodorou
• Brad Scott vs. Salim Touahri
• Makwan Amirkhani vs. Jason Knight
• Lina Lansberg vs. Gina Mazany
• Eric Spicely vs. Darren Stewart
• Molly McCann vs. Gillian Robertson
• Don Madge vs. David Teymur
