Abel Trujillo has a new opponent, as Jordan Rinaldi will be replacing Carlos Diego Ferreira at UFC Fight Night 88. The news was announced on Tuesday by the UFC.
Last week, Carlos Diego Ferreira, Trujillo's original opponent, was removed from the UFC Fight Night 88 card due to a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation in a recent out-of-competition drug test with USADA, leaving Trujillo without an opponent. However, lightweight fighter Jordan Rinaldi has stepped up on short notice to face the Blackzillians fighter.
UFC newcomer Rinaldi (12-4) currently finds himself in a five-fight wining streak.
