A last-minute fight is in the UFC’s cards – and it’s only eight days away. Ranked bantamweights Cody Stamann and Jimmie Rivera are expected to square off July 15 on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, as part of the promotion’s four “Fight Island” events being held in 15 days. There’s a twist: The fight will take place at featherweight – 145 pounds. A person with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking Tuesday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. MMA Fighting was first to report the news. Stamann (19-2-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) has gone 2-0-1 in his last three fights.
