Brian
Kelleher
has yet another new opponent at
UFC Fight Night 176
.

Kevin
Natividad
, who was a replacement for original opponent Ricky
Simon
, has been pulled from the matchup with Kelleher for
undisclosed reasons. As a result, Ray
Rodriguez

get the call to square off against the featherweight known as
“Boom.”

Rodriguez competed on Season 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series,
where he suffered a third-round TKO loss to Tony
Gravely
in August 2019. The 32-year-old Texan returned to the
win column with a submission triumph over Andrew
Perez
at Combat Americas “San Antonio” this past November.

UFC Fight Night 175 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is
headlined by a heavyweight clash between Alistair
