Andreas Gustafsson will write UFC history this weekend, even though it is his first official fight under the UFC banner.
The UFC returns to the borders of the Apex for UFC Vegas 107 the next Saturday, while Maycee Barber will compete against it in the main event.
Also on the map is a large lightweight matchup between Mateusz Gamrot and L'Udovit Klein with Gamrot who recently fans with images of his face after 'Light Sparring' with Dustin Poirier.
However, it is on the Prelims where history will be written, whereby the promotion has recently announced a huge new partnership with TOPPS.

Andreas Gustafsson to make UFC history in his debut fight
Last Wednesday, the UFC announced that the UFC and TOPPS will work together from this Saturday to bring fans the debut patch program.
Fighters who make their UFC debut wear a special patch on the right sleeve of their stalkout sweater, and after the fight the debut patches are removed and are converted into a unique trade card, personally signed by De Jager.
Initially, the Contender Series of Dana White Alum Andreas Gustafsson was planned to become the first hunter in the UFC history to attract the new patch, but it was announced yesterday that Michael will also intervene JR for the wounded Marquel Mideros to make Bolaji Oki, in whatever JR's debut.
Only in: debut patches come to UFC.
UFC athletes now wear a debut patch on their equipment for their first fight. After the game, the patch will go in a 1/1 signed trade card.
