Brian Ortega Out of UFC 331, Renato Moicano Rebooked Against Tom Nolan
Brian Ortega has been forced out of his UFC 331 lightweight bout against Renato Moicano due to an undisclosed injury. Moicano has been rebooked to face Tom Nolan on a later fight card.
The lightweight matchup between Renato Moicano and Brian Ortega, originally scheduled for UFC 331 in Los Angeles, has been officially scrapped. According to reports from MMA Fighting, the bout was removed from Saturday's card after Brian Ortega sustained an undisclosed injury.
Following the cancellation of the Ortega fight, UFC officials have secured a new assignment for Renato Moicano. He is now slated to face rising lightweight contender Tom Nolan. The promotion has moved the pairing to a future event, ensuring Moicano remains active despite the late-notice change to the UFC 331 lineup.
This shift removes a marquee lightweight contest from the Los Angeles card. For fantasy managers, the removal of the Moicano-Ortega bout significantly alters point projections for the event, as both fighters typically command high ownership and statistical interest in various league formats. Updates regarding the specific card where the Moicano vs. Nolan matchup will take place are expected to be announced by the organization in the coming days.
