A change of opponent and now a change of card for Michel Pereira.
A few days ago it was revealed that Muslim Salikhov had to withdraw from his fight with Pereira for undisclosed reasons. The UFC has found a replacement opponent whose should be familiar to some MMA fans. ESPN reported that PFL and Bellator veteran Andre Fialho had agreed to step in on short notice at UFC Vegas 46 this Saturday. Due to a positive COVID-19 test in Pereira’s corner, this fight has since been moved to UFC 270 on January 22.
