Palelei was due to face Stipe Miocic at UFC 161 but the match was rebooked with Roy Nelsen taking his place. Paleli, or "the Hulk" as his fans affectionately call him. From Australia he has won 8 straight fights including a knockout win over UFC Veteran Sean McCorkle in his last outing.

In a battle of cool nicknames promotional newcomer "the al capone" Nikita Krylop will be in the opposing corner. Krylop has only been a pro for 2 years. However he has won all 14 of his fights all by stoppage and all in the 1st round. He has been kept remarkably busy for a young Heavyweight making his way in the game.

The bout will got down on August 31st in Milwaukee.
