Returning to Lightweight Prepolec was next set to faced Austin Hubbard on September 14, 2019 at UFC Fight Night 158.[17] Prepolec would come out controlling round 1 with his striking staggering his opponent twice, the second round saw more exchanges on the feet. Hubbard took the fight to the ground. Kyle returned to his feet and continued to exchange until the end of the round. Round 3 saw Prepolec attempt a standing guillotine choke and landed a big elbow on the break, after landing a left hand he was taken down and controlled for almost the remainder of the round. Prepolec forced the fight back to the feet with 45 seconds remaining in the fight, landing a left hook and attempting a spinning back fist, he was forced to defend a take down and controlled the rest of the round attempting a modified guillotine choke. Prepolec lost the fight via unanimous decision.[18]
