News Yancy Medeiros steps in for injured Nikolas Motta, will fight Damir Hadzovic at UFC event, May 22nd

[Gio]

Damir Hadzovic has a new opponent, but on a different date.



"Nikolas Motta has been forced out of UFC on ESPN 24 on May 8 due to an injury, and Hadzovic (13-6 MMA, 3-4 UFC) will now face Yancy Medeiros (15-7 MMA, 6-7 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 188 on May 22, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas."

"Hadzovic will look to snap a two-fight losing skid as he returns from a 16-month layoff. After scoring back-to-back wins over Nick Hein and Marco Polo Reyes, “The Bosnian Bomber” dropped a unanimous decision to Christos Giagos in June 2019, followed by a first-round submission loss to Renato Moicano in March 2020."

"Medeiros will also look to get back to the win column. Since dropping back down to lightweight, Medeiros has suffered back-to-back losses to Gregor Gillespie and, most recently, Lando Vannata in February 2020"

Good replacement, Medeiros should win, Hadzovic isn't particularly UFC material.

Medeiros now has a functional hairline doesn't he?

Should win by KO in that case.

 

[GueseGuy]

Medeiros still at it! Still remember him from the SF days when he was fat!

Nice. Yancy always brings it win or lose. His fight with Cowboy Oliveria was a great back and forth war

He's probably gonna lose, the dude has no Chin, but he DOES always come to bang. I just wish Max wasn't the only one holding it down for Hawaii in the Win Column ya know?



Max CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE!!!!

I like how Hadzovic looks like you could put a suit on him, a piece in his ear and he’d look like an awesome bad ass men in black type of bodyguard guy. Just looks tough and no nonsense type of guy

Gonna be a blowout. Once it grows longer.

Yancy is always fun to watch but on a three fight skid. Hope he can snap it.
