Top lightweight contender, Islam Makhachev, is set to take on Thiago Moises over three rounds on July 17 according to a report from ESPN journalist, Brett Okamoto.
“Islam Makhachev will return to the Octagon on July 17, per sources,” Okamoto wrote on social media. “Makhachev vs. Thiago Moises set for a three-rounder at UFC Fight Night.”
The supposed heir to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s lightweight throne looked impressive earlier this year when he picked up a submission win over Drew Dober at UFC 259.
After that fight Makhachev was aiming high in terms of his next opponent. The Russian was publicly chasing a fight with former 155lb king, Rafael Dos Anjos. Makachev even suggested he could be Justin Gaethje’s next opponent.
So, fans may be surprised to hear he’s booked to face Moises who is not currently ranked at lightweight.
Nonetheless, the Brazilian submission specialist has been in impressive form lately. Moises has won three straight fights, submitting Michael Johnson before picking up back-to-back decision wins over Bobby Green and Alexander Hernandez.
Check out what the July 17 card looks like (so far) below.
Marion Reneau vs. Miesha Tate
Islam Makhachev vs. Thiago Moises

To fans of MMA, one of the fights that stood out beforehand on UFC Vegas 20 was the featured prelim between Alexander Hernandez and Thiago Moises. In hindsight, it was one of the more memorable fights on a relatively lacklustre card.
The fight was a back and forth display of striking prowess from both fighters. It was Moises who took the unanimous decision, much to the shock of Hernandez.

Hernandez has since taken to social media to give fans some insight into the reasoning behind his reaction. He posted a picture on his Instagram account, which had the following caption:
“Silence the commentary, watch this fight, and convince me I didn’t win 2 1/2 of 3 rounds. It’s extremely difficult to rationalize and agree with the outcome, but it is the outcome. Three more fights to come this year. Onward.”
As Hernandez states, regardless of ones thought’s on the decision, the outcome is the outcome. Hernandez must move on from the disappointing loss. He does add that he wishes to fight three more times this coming year, which could very well see him claw a path back into the rankings. His previous fight against Chris Gruetzemacher showcased the potetnial that Hernandez does have. A consistent run at 155lbs could well change Hernandez from prospect to contender.
