Legacy Fighting Alliance bantamweight champ Zviad Lazishvili will get his chance to make a mark in the UFC.
Lazishvili will replace Said Nurmagomedov and square off against Jack Shore in a 135-pound contest at UFC Fight Night 191. Adjara Sport was first to report the new booking. UFC Fight Night 191 takes place on Sept. 4 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight showdown between Darren Till and Derek Brunson.
Lazishvili claimed bantamweight gold with a first-round submission of Ricky Steele at LFA 90 in September 2020.
