One of the postponed matchups from UFC 258 has found a new home.
MMA Junkie reported on Tuesday that a bantamweight rematch between perennial contenders Pedro Munhoz and Jimmie Rivera is now set for UFC Vegas 20 on February 27th. The bout was slated for last week’s pay-per-view before Rivera tested positive for COVID-19.
Rivera (23-4) snapped a two-fight losing streak with a unanimous decision over Cody Stamann last July. He notably won 19 straight fights before his TKO defeat to Marlon Moraes in 2018, and since then he’s struggled to regain his form.
