A middleweight title tilt is scheduled to go down at UFC 253.

Israel Adesanya will defend against Paulo Costa Sept. 19.

The fight has been delayed due to Costa needing shoulder surgery earlier this year. Adesanya then faced Yoel Romero, who Costa had defeated to gain his No. 1 contendership.

With Romero vanquished, the two men shall finally meet.
