Renato Moicano vs. Rafael Fiziev added to UFC's Nov. 28 event
A lightweight matchup is the latest addition to the UFC’s Nov. 28 lineup.
Renato Moicano (14-3-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) will face Rafael Fiziev (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in an event that is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking Wednesday, but requested anonymity since the UFC has yet to make an official announcement. Combate was first to report the news.
After compiling a 5-3 record as a featherweight in the UFC, including wins over Calvin Kattar and Cub Swanson, Moicano moved up to lightweight and submitted Damir Hadzovic in just 44 seconds at UFC on ESPN+ 28 in March. He was scheduled to face Magomed Mustafaev on the UFC’s Oct. 17 card, but was forced out due to undisclosed reasons.
Fiziev dropped his promotional debut to Mustafaev in April 2019, but rebounded with back-to-back wins over Alex White and most recently Marc Diakiese at UFC on ESPN+ 30 in July.
With the addition, the Nov. 28 lineup includes:
- Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis
- Norma Dumont vs. Ashlee Evans-Smith
- Josh Parisian vs. Parker Porter
- Gina Mazany vs. Rachael Ostovich
- Martin Day vs. Anderson dos Santos
- Malcolm Gordon vs. Su Mudaerji
- Rafael Fiziev vs. Renato Moicano
