Mentioned Nurmagomedov’s UFC 308 battle was yanked out from beneath him, however he’s already been rebooked.
A UFC on ESPN 63 scheduled for Dec. 14 at Amalie Enviornment in Tampa, Fla., Nurmagomedov (18-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) will battle Daniel Marcos (16-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in a three-round bantamweight bout.
Nurmagomedov initially was slated to battle Daniel Santos at Saturday’s pay-per-view occasion in Abu Dhabi, however was eliminated by the promotion after Santos withdrew. He has not competed since October 2023, when he bounced again into the win column with a 73-second submission victory over Muin Gafurov.
Marcos has but to lose as an expert. Within the UFC, he holds wins over Saimon Oliveira, Davey Grant and John Castaneda. Moreover, he fought Aori Qileng in a bout that led to a no contest as a result of inadvertent groin strikes.
With the addition, the UFC on ESPN 63 lineup contains:
- Mackenzie Dern vs. Amanda Ribas
- Dustin Jacoby vs. Vitor Petrino
- Tracy Cortez vs. Miranda Maverick
- Manel Kape vs. Bruno Silva
- Billy Quarantillo vs. Cub Swanson
- Josefine Knutsson vs. Piera Rodriguez
- Navajo Stirling vs. Tuco Tokkos
- Davey Grant vs. Ramon Taveras
- Daniel Marcos vs. Mentioned Nurmagomedov
