More of the undercard fights for the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship show in Atlanta are starting to emerge as the promotion added a number of new fights on Thursday.

Included in the mix will be a lightweight tilt between Kurt Pellegrino and Thiago Tavares. Both fighters are coming off of losses, with Pellegrino losing by submission to former "Ultimate Fighter" winner Nate Diaz, while Tavares dropped his last fight by knockout to Matt Wiman.

Former "Ultimate Fighter Season 7" competitor, Matt Brown, returns to action at UFC 88 fresh off of his win over Matt Arroyo to take on one of the top up and coming international fighters in the UFC, Dong Hyun Kim, who made a splash with his debut fight picking up a TKO win over Jason Tan at UFC 84.

Two previously rumored fights have also been confirmed by the UFC as TimBoetsch looks to get back to his winning ways when he faces James Lee in a light heavyweight match-up while Ryo Chonan returns from injuries that have kept him out of competition since last year to take on Roan Carneiro.

UFC 88 takes place Sept. 6 at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, GA.
