A pair of international heavyweight prospects are headed to Glendale.

Officials announced Thursday that Canada’s Arjan Bhullar will fight Poland’s Adam Wieczorekat UFC on FOX 29 on April 14.

Bhullar previously mentioned the matchup on social media in January.

A fighter of Indian Sikh descent who hails from Richmond, British Columbia, Bhullar (7-0) made a successful UFC debut at UFC 215 last September with a unanimous decision win over Luis Henrique da Silva. The 31-year-old won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling representing Canada at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

Wieczorek (9-1) also saw his hand raised in his first Octagon appearance, defeating Anthony Hamilton by unanimous decision at UFC Sydney this past October. Prior to that fight, “Siwy” had to deal with his UFC debut being delayed three times. He has won eight consecutive bouts.

UFC on FOX 29 is scheduled to take place at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz. on April 14. In the main event, former World Series of Fighting champion Justin Gaethje faces Dustin Poirier in a lightweight contest, while welterweights Carlos Condit and Matt Brown will throw down in the co-headliner.
