Sergio Moraes in against Omari Akhmedov at UFC FN 80

News broke Wednesday evening that Lyman Good was forced out of his UFC FN 80 bout against Omari Akhmedov for reasons that were not disclosed.

As a result Sergio Moraes has stepped in on short notice to fight Akhmedov on December 10th in Las Vegas.

Moraes is currently riding a 3-fight win streak that saw him pick up a unanimous decision win over Mickael Lebout back in April. The bout was Moraes’ first back in the Octagon in nearly 2 years after withdrawing from multiple fights for undisclosed reasons.

Akhmedov on the other hand is riding a 2-fight win streak that most recently saw him pick up a TKO win over Brian Ebersole after injuring Ebersole’s leg with leg kicks.

UFC FN 80 will be headlined by a UFC women’s strawweight bout between Rose Namajunas and Paige VanZant.
