Cesar Almeida Steps In to Face Donte Johnson at UFC 334
Cesar Almeida will replace the withdrawing Baisangur Susurkaev to face the undefeated Donte Johnson at UFC 334 on November 14.
UFC 334 has undergone a shuffle in the middleweight division. Undefeated prospect Baisangur Susurkaev has been removed from the upcoming event, which is scheduled for November 14 at Madison Square Garden. Following the withdrawal, promotion officials have secured a replacement opponent for Donte Johnson.
Cesar Almeida (7-3) has agreed to step in on short notice to take on the 9-0 Johnson. The change maintains the middleweight matchup on the card, which serves as a significant opportunity for both fighters to advance their standing in the division.
Details regarding the reason for Susurkaev's withdrawal were not disclosed. Johnson, who maintains an unblemished professional record, will now face the test of Almeida’s experience as he looks to maintain his momentum in the UFC. The event remains set to take place in New York City.
