The UFC has found a new opponent for Gregory Rodrigues at UFC 283 next Saturday.
‘Robocop’ announced in an interview with SuperBook Sports that his original opponent—Brad Tavares—was forced to withdraw from their upcoming fight after suffering an injury. Stepping up on short notice is Brunno Ferreira, the promotional newcomer following a successful appearance on Contender Series this past September.
Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting was first to report the new fight.
Rodrigues is 4-1 in the Octagon, with his only loss coming to Armen Petrosyan at UFC Vegas 49 in February.
