It’s a milestone that was long overdue.

Tanner Boser (16-5-1) will make his UFC debut on July 27 at UFC 240 after signing a four-fight contract with the sport’s top promotion. Boser is coming off a fourth round TKO victory over Jared Kilkenny at Unified MMA 37.

Boser will take on another debuting heavyweight in Giacomo Lemos (6-0), who has yet to go the distance in his career.

Listen below to what Boser had to say on signing with the UFC.
