With the last-minute cancellation of UFC Fight Night 97 last weekend, it looks like James Moontasri will take on Alex Morono on the UFC on Fox 22 card on Dec. 17. The Los Angeles Daily News was the first media outlet to report the switch, though UFC officials have yet to formally announce the fight.
One of the more exciting fighters on the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s roster, Moontasri has flip-flopped wins and losses for two years in the UFC, having gone just 2-3 during that stretch. But “Moonwalker” always brings the heat and his matchup with Morono could be one of the best of the event.
