Tsarukyan out, Moicano replaces him as title challenger at UFC 311

Moicano enters the fight having won his last four fights, three via finish. His most recent effort came in a main event against Benoît Saint Denis in Paris where he scored a second round TKO via medical stoppage. Overall, Moicano is 7-2 since moving up to the lightweight division in March 2020.

Makhachev, according to White, immediately accepted the fight. The lightweight champion and No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter looks to defend his title for the fourth time. If he succeeds, his five title fight victories will be the most ever in the history of the lightweight division.

Due to this change, Dariush will not compete at UFC 311.

The heavyweight match between Jailton Almeida and Serghei Spivac moves to the main card.

Stay tuned to UFC.com for any updates on the event.
