Multiple sources close to the matchup confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Sunday following an initial report from MMA Junkie.
The original fight between 125-pounders was scrapped after Schnell was forced off the card due to health issues just one day before the event. Nam ended up taking a different fight one week later and picked up a TKO win over Jerome Rivera.
Now, it appears Schnell is healthy and ready to compete again as he looks to bounce back following a loss to Alexandre Pandoja in his most recent appearance. Prior to that loss, Schnell had earned four wins in a row.
The upcoming card on Dec. 19 is headlined by a welterweight showdown between top-ranked Leon Edwards against the highly touted prospect Khamzat Chimaev.
