Bilal Hasan is ready for his next highlight.

MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin has confirmed with sources with knowledge of the fight that Hasan (10-0) is set to fight Luis Gurule (11-4) at UFC 334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Hasan has emerged as one of the most exciting names signed off of this season of Dana White’s Contender Series. The 25-year-old earned a UFC contract with a 45-second knockout over Mridul Saikia on Aug. 3 and then made his debut for the promotion 18 days later with a second-round knockout over Nilson Rojas at UFC Shanghai.

Gurule is currently mired in a 1-4 slump. “Grim” most recently fought in May at UFC Macau, where he was submitted inside of a round by Rei Tsuruya. That was Gurule’s second fight in two weeks, following a unanimous decision nod over Daniel Barez, Gurule’s lone UFC win.

UFC 334 is yet to have a headliner announced.
