Ricardo Lamas will remain on Saturday’s UFC Vegas 8 card.

Originally, Lamas was expected to fight jiu-jitsu wizard Ryan Hall. It was a very intriguing matchup, but it was reported Hall withdrew from the fight. The promotion was searching for a replacement opponent and on Sunday night, Bill Algeo announced on FaceBook he has signed to the UFC and will fight Lamas on short notice.

Ricardo Lamas has not fought since he suffered a first-round TKO loss to Calvin Kattar at UFC 238. In the loss, he sustained a broken jaw and was healing the injuries.

The 38-year-old is just 1-3 in his last four with a win over Darren Elkins and a split decision loss to Mirsad Bektic and knockout loss to Josh Emmett. Lamas has been a perennial top-15 contender and has notable wins over Charles Oliveira, Jason Knight, and Diego Sanchez.

Bill Algeo, meanwhile, has had two tries at earning a UFC contract but came up short. In 2017 he was taking on Jared Gordon at CFFC 63 which was an episode of Dana White Looking For a Fight. Unfortunately for Algeo he suffered a decision loss and had to remain on the regional scenes. He then rattled off four straight wins and fought Brendan Loughnane on the Contender Series and lost by decision.

Algeo is currently 13-4 and coming off a decision win over Tim Dooling at CFFC 83 on August 13 to return to the win column after the loss to Loughnane last summer.

The latest lineup for UFC Vegas 8 is as follows:

  • Anthony Smith vs. Aleksandar Rakic
  • Robbie Lawler vs. Neil Magny
  • Alexa Grasso vs. Ji Yeon Kim
  • Magomed Ankalaev vs. Ion Cutelaba
  • Impa Kasanganay vs. Maki Pitolo
  • Bill Algeo vs. Ricardo Lamas
  • Hannah Cifers vs. Mallory Martin
  • Zak Cummings vs. Alessio Di Chirico
  • Alex Caceres vs. Giga Chikadze
  • Polyana Viana vs. Emily Whitmire
  • Christian Aguilera vs. Sean Brady

Who do you think will win, Ricardo Lamas or Bill Algeo?

Ryan Hall

Featherweight contender Ryan Hall has been forced out of his fight against Ricardo Lamas on August 29 according to John Morgan of MMA Junkie who took to social media to break the news, he wrote.

“Rough news for the hardcores: Ryan Hall is out of his Aug. 29 fight with Ricardo Lamas. Replacement currently sought, but will likely need to be U.S. citizen or someone with work visa due to current restrictions. Anyone game for Lamas on short notice?!?!?”

The UFC is currently looking for a replacement opponent to face off against Lamas next weekend. However due to the short-notice and COVID-19 restrictions whoever replaces Hall must be a U.S citizen or have an active working VISA in the States.

Hall who was pulled from this fight for undisclosed reasons hasn’t fought in over a year. The submission specialist picked up a unanimous decision win over Darren Elkins at UFC Sacramento in June 2019.

Lamas hasn’t fought since suffering a TKO loss to Calvin Kattar at UFC 238 in June 2019. The former UFC title challenger has lost three of his last four fights and is currently outside of the featherweight top 15.

Ryan Hall

Featherweight contenders Ryan Hall and Ricardo Lamas will face off on August 29 in Las Vegas according to reports. Combate initially reported the booking which has since been confirmed by MMA Fighting who wrote.

“Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a fight between Ryan Hall and Ricardo Lamas will take place at the UFC’s event on Aug. 29. The fight card will take place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.”

This news comes one day after the UFC announced they would be hosting nine shows in Las Vegas next month including UFC 252 and four Contender Series cards.

Hall and Lamas were originally booked to fight at UFC Oklahoma City in May before the ongoing global pandemic caused that card and many other to be scrapped. The Ultimate Fighter season 22 winner Hall has been perfect but inactive during his UFC career. Since winning TUF in 2015 he has competed just three times beating Gray Maynard, BJ Penn and Darren Elkins.

Lamas is looking to get back to winnings ways after being stopped by fellow featherweight contender Calvin Kattar last time out. Prior to that he snapped a two fight losing streak by beating Elkins by third round TKO.

The final UFC card of August doesn’t have a main event yet but several bouts have been announced including a light-heavyweight match-up between Anthony Smith and Aleksander Rakic. Featherweight contenders Zabit Magomedsharipov and Yair Rodriguez are also expected to face off on the card.

Former UFC featherweight title challenger Ricardo Lamas suffered three jaw fractures after his knockout loss at UFC 238.

Lamas took to Instagram and updated fans on his status with a brief statement. “The Bully” noted he has been in the hospital since the defeat and had titanium plates installed into his jaw:

“Update: I suffered 3 fractures in my jaw during the fight. Been in the hospital since & had surgery yesterday. Titanium plates were installed. I asked the doctor to install small laser guns in my mouth that I could activate with my tongue and shoot through my teeth but he said that was impossible.”

Lamas was knocked out in the first round of his preliminary bout on ESPN against Calvin Kattar. The loss marked Lamas’ third out of his last four fights. At 37-years-old, it will be interesting to see what the 145-pound competitor decides to do next. As for Kattar, he is now on a two-fight win streak.

He hasn’t lost since being defeated by Renato Moicano back in April of 2018 via unanimous decision. Lamas redeemed himself with a first-round TKO victory over Chris Fishgold in October. Now, the 31-year-old hopes to continue his rise in the featherweight division after a victory over one of its most recognizable names.
