Two-time CFFC featherweight champion Pat Sabatini has gotten the UFC call. With Mike Trizano out, Sabatini (13-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has stepped in on short notice to face Rafael Alves (19-9 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 185, which takes place Feb. 20 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Alves was first to report the news on his social media. Winner of five of his past six, Sabatini captured the vacant featherweight title at CFFC 91 in December with a second-round submission of Jesse Stern
