The injuries keep on coming for UFC Fight Night 137.
This time around, welterweight Belal Muhammad was the one forced to leave the card, due to an undisclosed injury. Per Combate, Belal’s opponent, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, will now take on newcomer Luigi Vendramini, who accepted the fight on less than one week’s notice.
Currently on a five-fight winning streak, Zaleski (19-5) scored a highlight reel knockout in his last outing, on May 12, when he defeated Sean Strickland with a spinning wheel kick. Before that, the Brazilian already held wins over the likes of Omari Akhmedov, Keita Nakamura, Lyman Good, and Max Griffin.
