Welters weights Ian Machado Garry and Carlos Prates agreed to meet in the new main event at the next UFC Kansas City event on April 26.
The UFC announced the match on Tuesday but made no mention of what happened to the original headliner between Jamahal Hill and Khalil Routree.
Regardless of the reason with Hill vs Runtree put in the rebuilding, the UFC moved quickly to reserve a new main event.
Garry accepts the fight after a back and forth battle against Shavkat Rakhmonov last December in a confrontation to determine a competitor n ° 1 in the Welters weight division. While Garry failed on dashboards, he gave Rakhmonov his most difficult test to date and now he is lucky to bounce against one of the fastest rising stars in division.
Prates enters the fight with a perfect record of 4-0 in UFC with all its fights ending with KO in the first or second round. The Brazilian was originally to face Geoff Neal at UFC 314, but Neal suffered an injury that forced him to leave the card.
Rather than reserving it for a different opponent on this date, the UFC has moved Prators to the headliner of Kansas City where it now faces Garry instead.
Garry vs Prates made the headlines on April 26 with the event with Anthony Smith in his retirement fight against Zhang Mingyang and Giga Chikadze facing David Onama in a featherweight confrontation.
