The changes continue for the UFC’s November PPV event.
With Alex Perez now facing Deiveson Figueiredo for the UFC flyweight title, Brandon Moreno—who was scheduled to face Perez at the event—will now face surging contender Brandon Royval at UFC 255.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed the booking with MMA Fighting following a report from BJ PENN. The card will take place Nov. 21 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Garbrandt revealed he was forced to withdraw from his championship opportunity with Figueiredo due to a torn bicep, which has since led to a shuffling of the deck at 125-pounds.
