With exactly one week remaining until the curtain is drawn on the Octagon’s debut in China, the November 10th lineup has undergone a minor change. An injury has forced Kyung Ho Kang out of his bantamweight affair against Alex Caceres and Motonobu Tezuka has agreed to serve as a last-minute substitute.
Tezuka owns a 19-4-4 professional record, but this marks his first fight in the big leagues.
Caceres has lost five of his last eight scraps. He was last seen submitting Damacio Page in July.
Next Saturday’s event takes place at CotaiArena inside The Venetian Macau Resort in Macau. A middleweight shootout between Rich Franklin and Cung Le headlines the show.
