Heavyweight prospect Gable Steveson's second Octagon appearance is set.

Steveson will face Sean Sharaf at UFC 331 on Sept. 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the promotion announced Wednesday.

The UFC also announced a lightweight rematch between Renato Moicano and Brian Ortega, as well as a heavyweight bout between Tai Tuivasa and the returning Robelis Despaigne.

Steveson, an Olympic gold medalist and one of the most accomplished collegiate wrestlers in history, made his highly anticipated Octagon debut at UFC 329 in July, scoring a first-round knockout of Elisha Ellison.

Steveson, 26, is 4-0 as a professional MMA fighter. He made his pro debut last September.

Sharaf is 0-2 in the promotion since his October 2024 debut, losing to Junior Tafa and Steven Asplund by knockout. The 33-year-old holds a 4-2 record as a pro.

UFC 331 does not yet have a confirmed main event.
