After a failed bid to get on The Ultimate Fighter in 2014, former Bellator welterweight champion Lyman Good is officially set to make his UFC debut against Andrew Craig at UFC Fight Night 71 in July.

Good, who is stepping in for an injured Edgar Garcia, was eliminated before entering the "TUF" house during The Ultimate Fighter 19, losing a unanimous decision to Ian Stephens.

A loser of three of his last four, this could be a pink slip derby for Craig, whose last victory came against a completely shopworn Chris Leben at UFC 162 back in 2013.

UFC Fight Night 71 takes place on July 15 at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, and features a heavyweight bout between Frank Mir and Todd Duffee as the main event.
