After an arrest forced Michael Graves from his UFC Fight Night 100 bout with Sergio Moraes, the promotion has named Zak Ottow as the Brazilian’s replacement opponent.
UFC Fight Night 100 takes place Nov. 19 at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo. It airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass, though the event’s bout order hasn’t been finalized.
Ottow (14-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is coming off a stunning split-decision upset of Josh Burkman at UFC Fight Night 96 in his octagon debut. Ottow will make a fairly quick turnaround for his bout with Moraes (10-2-1 MMA, 4-1-1 UFC). The Brazilian submission expert is coming off a draw in his most recent appearance at UFC 198 against Luan Chagas.
Prior to the draw, Moraes was riding a four-fight winning streak. Three of those victories came by stoppage.
