Belal Muhammad has a new opponent for his fight on December 19th, as Dhiego Lima has stepped up to replace the injured Sean Brady.
The undefeated Brady was forced to withdraw from the fight last month. Originally Muhammad campaigned for a fight with Mike Perry, but MMA Fighting confirmed that Lima will fill in for Brady and fight on December 19th.
Lima (15-7) is yet to fight in 2020 after suffering a neck injury that scratched his fight with Alex Morono at UFC 247 in February. The two-time Ultimate Fighter contestant is currently on a three-fight winning streak in the UFC, dating back to December 2018.
