Andre Muniz will look to remain undefeated in the UFC in February.

According to Ag Fight, Muniz is set to return to the Octagon on February 25 at a Fight Night card against Brendan Allen. The location of the fight is uncertain at this time, while the main event sees a battle of ranked light heavyweights as Nikita Krylov takes on Ryan Spann.
