Alexander Romanov will step in for the injured Rodrigo Nascimento and lock horns with Tanner Boser in a heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night 205.

TSN was first to report the new pairing. The nature of Nascimento’s injury was not disclosed. UFC Fight Night 205 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on April 23 and is headlined by a strawweight tilt pitting Jessica Andrade against Amanda Lemos.

Romanov has yet to taste defeat in 15 professional outings. He is 4-0 in the Las Vegas-based promotion, a mark that includes a second-round TKO triumph against Jared Vanderaa in his last appearance at UFC Fight Night 194.

Boser, meanwhile, will return for the first time since UFC Fight Night 190 on June 26, when he snapped a two-bout skid with a second-round knockout of Ovince St.Preux.
