Uriah Hall and Sean Strickland are moving up to main event status.
The upcoming middleweight showdown was originally scheduled for UFC 265 in August but now Hall and Strickland are expected to clash in the headline bout for the upcoming UFC Fight Night card on July 31 instead.
Sources close to the situation confirmed the move when speaking to MMA Fighting on Thursday. ESPN initially reported the change.
Coming off four victories in a row, Hall has been steadily climbing up the ranks at 185 pounds with the longest win streak of his UFC career.
