Tom Breese gets new UFC London assignment as Cezar Ferreria replaces Alessio Di Chirico

Originally slated to face Alessio Di Chirico at the March 16 event, the Birmingham native will now face Brazilian veteran Cezar Ferreria in the English capital.

Five days after Di Chirico announced that he was out of his bout with Breese, UFC announced that “Mutante” would step in to face highly touted British middleweight through its social media feeds.

Breese (11-1-0) made a statement in his middleweight debut last year in Liverpool when he stopped infamously durable Australian Dan Kelly in the first round of their preliminary card bout.

Up until that point, the Team Renegade coach has collected a 3-1 record as a UFC welterweight with wins over Luiz Dutra Jr.
