Another change has been made the upcoming UFC event on Dec. 5 with Brazilian prospect Raoni Barcelos forced out of his fight against Merab Dvalishvili.
Barcelos recently accepted the matchup after Cody Stamann pulled out of the fight against Dvalishvili. Unfortunately because Barcelos just recently competed in a three-round fight in early November, the Nevada State Athletic Commission would not medically clear him to compete again less than one month later.
Multiple sources confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Thursday after Dvalishvili initially revealed that Barcelos was being pulled from their fight.
