Although RFA has recently sent many fighters to the UFC, Joby Sanchez only needed to be booked for a fight with the promotion to get his call up to MMA’s premier organization. Sanchez (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who was slated to fight Matt Manzanares for the RFA flyweight title at RFA 18 on Sept. 12, instead has replaced injured Tim Elliott (10-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC) and now fights fellow 125-pounder Wilson Reis (17-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 49.
