Manon Fiorot will have to wait to get her first veteran challenge in the UFC.
Originally scheduled to fight Maryna Moroz this Saturday at UFC Vegas 28, Fiorot (6-1) now faces octagon newcomer Tabatha Ricci (5-0) in a flyweight bout. Ricci steps in as a short-notice replacement for Moroz. The UFC announced the change, but the reason for Moroz’s withdrawal was not disclosed.
MMA Junkie was first to report Moroz’s withdrawal and the new matchup.
Fiorot enters her second UFC bout on a six-fight win streak, with her only loss coming in her pro debut.
