The UFC’s return to New Jersey continues to build with the addition of a welterweight fight.

Tony Martin (12-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) will move up to 170 pounds from lightweight to take on Keita Nakamura (33-8-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 128. UFC officials announced the booking today.

UFC Fight Night 128 will take place April 21 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. The main card will air on FS1 following prelims on FS2 and UFC Fight Pass.

Martin will be looking to rebound after a split-decision loss to Olivier Aubin-Mercier at UFC Fight Night 116 in Pittsburgh this past September. The loss snapped a three-fight winning streak against Felipe Oliveiri, Alex White and Johnny Case. Martin fought at welterweight early in his career before moving to lightweight.

Nakamura got back in the win column in September in his home country of Japan with a split-decision victory over Alex Morono. The veteran fighter has alternated wins and losses in his five-fight UFC tenure, which also includes submission wins over Li Jingliang and Kyle Noke. The Jingliang win was a bonus-winner.

With the addition, the latest UFC Fight Night 128 card includes:

• Edson Barboza vs. Kevin Lee
• Corey Anderson vs. Patrick Cummins
• David Branch vs. Thiago “Marreta” Santos
• Alex Garcia vs. Ryan LaFlare
• Brett Johns vs. Aljamain Sterling
