The UFC has signed Ramazan Kuramagomedov as Alex Oliveira’s new opponent for Saturday night’s UFC Vegas 20 event, multiple sources with knowledge of the news confirmed to MMA Fighting following a report from MMA Junkie.
The Brazilian welterweight was expected to face Randy Brown at the Fight Night show on Feb. 27, but Brown withdrew due to undisclosed reasons.
Kuramagomedov (8-0) competed once inside the octagon, scoring a split decision victory over Jordan Williams at Dana White’s Contender Series in July 2019.
