An interesting matchup of lightweight talents is on tap for
UFC Fight Night 197, as Thiago
Moises will lock horns with Joel
Alvarez on Nov. 13.
Alvarez initially revealed the booking on social media, and it was
later confirmed by
MMAFighting.com. UFC Fight Night 197 takes place at the UFC
Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a featherweight bout between
Max
Holloway and Yair
Rodriguez.
Moises had a three-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing,
when he was submitted by Islam
Makhachev in the fourth round of the UFC on ESPN 26 headliner
on July 17. Prior to that, Moises had bested Michael
Johnson, Bobby Green
and Alexander
Hernandez in succession.
Alvarez has won three consecutive bouts since dropping his Octagon
debut to Damir
Ismagulov at UFC Fight Night 145. Most recently, the
28-year-old Spaniard known as “El Fenomeno” submitted Alexander
Yakovlev in the opening round at UFC 254.
