Nico Muoske was scheduled to face Amir Sadollah at UFC Fight Night 53, but Muoske will now face Alexander Yakovlev on the October 4th card in Sweden as the UFC has moved Sadollah to the UFC Fight Night 52 card in Japan.
UFC officials announced the changes on Friday.
UFC Fight Night 53 will come from the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden on October 4th and will be headlined by Gunnar Nelson meeting Rick Story in a welterweight bout.
Musoke (12-3, 1NC) was signed by the UFC last year and opened his UFC career with victories over Alessio Sakara and Viscardi Andrade. Following those victories, his next fight would come at UFC Fight Night 44 in June and he would be defeated by Kelvin Gastelum in the co-main event of the fight card.
Yakovlev (21-5-1) made his UFC debut earlier this year after winning three fights in a row, including a decision win over Paul Daley. His debut in the promotion would come at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale against Demian Maia and he was defeated by decision.
