Update: UFC has finally confirmed the matter.

There have been some changes in the UFC Fight Night 232 event, which is set for November 18, Saturday. Specifically, the changes pertain to the new opponents Uros Medic and Christian Leroy Duncan would face, with their earlier pairs withdrawing from the fights for different reasons.

UFC still hasn’t officially confirmed the changes, but according to the latest leaks, Denis Tiuliulin will replace Cesar Almeida, while Myktybek Orolbai Uulu will take the place of Jonny Parsons.

Uros Medic would be facing Uulu. The two will face each other in a welterweight bout on the main card.

Despite fighting a promotional newcomer, Medic should find the fight interesting, with Uulu having an 11-1-1 MMA and 0-0 UFC record. Uulu also has a lot to offer after winning six knockouts and four submissions from his 11 victories in his earlier fights. Medic, on the other hand, boasts a 9-1 MMA and 3-1 UFC record and comes as a victor from his last two fights against Omar Morales and Matthew Semelsberger.

On the other side of the coin, Duncan will now be facing Tiuliulin in a middleweight fight out on the preliminary card. Both will be coming from an earlier loss in their previous fights, but it will be a bigger fight for Tiuliulin, who lost in his last two bouts at UFC.
