– Shara Magomedov was set to fight Joilton Lutterbach at the upcoming UFC event in Saudi Arabia. However, Lutterbach had to withdraw and was replaced by Antonio Trocoli, as announced by UFC CEO Dana White.
– This switch in opponents makes Trocoli the third scheduled fighter for Magomedov at the event. Lutterbach shared on Instagram that he was removed from the match due to a substance detected in his urine.
– Trocoli, who was originally slated to fight Ikram Aliskerov at a prior UFC event, will now be making his UFC debut against Magomedov. Despite the sudden change, Trocoli comes into the bout with an impressive four-fight winning streak.
– Magomedov, boasting an unblemished record of 12 wins, 10 of which were by knockout, is looking to build on his success following a victorious octagon debut where he secured a unanimous decision win.
