A bout recently scheduled for UFC 233 has already undergone a revision, as Alexander Hernandez will replace Islam Makhachev and face Francisco Trinaldo on Jan. 26 in Anaheim, Calif.
Multiple outlets confirmed the new pairing following an initial report from Combate.com. The UFC only officially announced Makhachev vs. Trinaldo last week.
The change — as well as the original bout — was news to Makhachev, who claimed in a social media post that the promotion never gave him a contract to compete at UFC 233.
