Nick Hein
A lightweight bout between Nick Hein (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and promotional newcomer Lukasz Sajewski (13-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is the latest addition to June’s UFC Fight Night 69 event in Germany.
UFC officials today announced the bout.
UFC Fight Night 69 takes place June 20 at O2 World Berlin in Germany’s capital city. The entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass. A light-heavyweight bout between recent title challengers Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira headlines.
Hein, a 30-year-old German fighter and national judo champion, made his UFC debut in 2014 – also in Berlin – and defeated Drew Dober via decision. It pushed his overall winning streak to six fights. However, in his sophomore UFC effort, he started strong but ultimately lost a decision to James Vick in November and suffered his first defeat since 2011.
He now meets undefeated Sajewski, who’s posted nine stoppages in 13 career wins since turning pro in 2008. The 24-year-old Polish fighter hasn’t competed since May 2014, when he tapped out Igor Egorov (7-3 at the time) with an armbar at an event in Russia.
With the addition, the UFC Fight Night 69 card now includes:
- Alexander Gustafsson vs. Glover Teixeira
- Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Dennis Siver
- Niklas Backstrom vs. Noah Lahat
- Nick Hein vs. Lukasz Sajewski
