Benoit Saint Denis will get to compete at home in a grappling match.

Saint Denis faces fellow UFC fighter Marc Diakiese in a no-gi welterweight grappling match, which headlines ADXC 4 May 18 at Dojo De Paris in France, promotion officials announced Monday. Saint Denis was expected to face Arman Tsarukyan, who withdrew due to undisclosed reasons.

After finishing five straight lightweights, Saint Denis (13-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) saw his winning streak snapped at the hands of Dustin Poirier in a knockout loss at UFC 299 in March. Saint Denis later revealed that he entered the fight with staph infection, which he says hampered his performance.

Diakiese (17-7 MMA, 8-7 UFC) was last seen in action this past November when he edged out Kaue Fernandes at UFC Fight Night 231 in Brazil. He landed three takedowns in the win, which snapped his two-fight losing skid.

Also competing at ADXC 4 is UFC lightweight Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady, who faces Amin Ayoub in a no-gi welterweight grappling match on the main card.
