July’s UFC 149 event has a fairly significant change: Siyar Bahadurzada has replaced injured Yoshihiro Akiyama and now meets Thiago Alves.
Officials from the UFC’s Brazilian office today announced the change.
UFC 149 takes place July 21 at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo headlines in a five-round title fight with challenger Erik Koch.
