Welterweight veteran Alex Morono will step in on short notice to fight Donald Cerrone at UFC Vegas 26 after Diego Sanchez was released from the promotion.
Cerrone and Morono have verbally agreed to fight after Cerrone drove to Las Vegas this past week for the ESPN+ event on Saturday at UFC APEX. Sanchez was removed from the Cerrone fight and released by the UFC this past Tuesday after he declined to certify he was suffering from no short- and long-term health issues, specifically those having to do with his neurological health.
