UFC has just signed Peruvian bantamweight Carlos Huachin, and the new UFC fighter will be making his debut very quickly as he’ll be replacing Said Nurmagomedov at UFC 237 to take on Raoni Barcelos.
Huachin is coming into the promotion with a seven-fight win streak, as the Inka FC bantamweight champion is coming off a huge victory back in March. He defeated Marcelino Cavalcante in the first round to capture the bantamweight belt. Huachin walks into the promotion with a professional record of 10 wins, 3 losses, and 2 no contests.
Barcelos is making his return to the octagon after his successful debut in the promotion last year. He knocked out Kurt Holobaugh back in July and four months later, he defeated Chris Gutierrez in Las Vegas via submission. The Brazilian native walks into the bout with a professional MMA record of 13 wins and 1 loss.
