Welcome to the UFC, Luan Chagas

Injuries are never good news, but for some fighters when one competitor goes down a golden opportunity opens.

Tough break for the Ultimate Fighter season 21 winner, Kamaru Usman. The Blackzilians fighter has been sidelined by injury just a couple weeks out from his May 14th bout against Sergio Moraes at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil. But, as is so often the case, one fighter's injury news, is another fighter's chance to jump into the UFC and try and make an instant impact. That's the opportunity that Luan Chagas is getting, as he replaces the "Nigerian Nightmare" against Moraes on just 12 days notice.
