Related Topics: Joe Soto, Bantamweight

Joe Soto — the same man who accepted a Bantamweight title shot on just hours notice in his promotional debut — has once again decided to take a last-moment chance inside the Octagon, fighting Marco Beltran in replace of Guido Cannetti this Saturday night (Nov. 5, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 98 inside Arena Ciudad de Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico.

UFC.com announced the 140-pound Catchweight match up after Cannetti was bounced from the FOX Sports 1-televised event earlier this week because of a potential United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) violation (details here).
