Renato Moicano vs. Brian Ortega 2 added to UFC 331
Ortega (16-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC), a former two-time UFC featherweight title challenger, is moving up to the lightweight division to take on veteran Renato Moicano (21-7-1 MMA, 13-7 UFC) in a rematch Sept. 19 at UFC 331 in Los Angeles. UFC officials announced the rematch on Wednesday.
This bout was originally expected to go down in March at UFC 326, but Ortega withdrew due to injury. Ortega and Moicano fought back in 2017. Ortega submitted Moicano in a bout that won Fight of the Night.
Ortega's move to lightweight has been talked about for several years, as he'd had trouble making 145 pounds. In his last outing last August, Ortega was unable to make the featherweight cut, thus pushing his bout with Aljamain Sterling to a 153-pound catchweight bout. Ortega lost the fight by unanimous decision. "T-City" finds himself on a two-fight losing streak and 1-4 in his past five bouts.
