Kris Moutinho is the apparent winner of the Sean O'Malley sweepstakes.
Multiple outlets confirmed that Moutinho will face O’Malley at UFC 264 after “Sugar” announced the pairing on Twitch. O'Malley's original opponent, Louis Smolka, withdraw from the bout due to a staph infection. UFC 264 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 10 and is headlined by a trilogy bout between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.
Moutinho has competed almost exclusively for CES MMA while compiling a 9-4 record since beginning his professional tenure in 2016.
