Nassourdine Imavov will go up against Sean Strickland in a light-heavyweight UFC main event this weekend, as the latter replaces Kelvin Gastelum.
Gastelum revealed on Monday (9 January) that he had suffered a mouth injury, ruling him out of this Fight Night and extending the American’s absence from the Octagon past 18 months. In stark contrast, compatriot Strickland will return to the ring just one month after his last fight – a second straight loss, as he was outpointed by Jared Cannonier.
